Ministerial Visit
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez yesterday made his first official visit to Morocco, where he pushed for greater cooperation between the two countries on tackling migration.
More than 50,000 migrants crossed into Spain so far this year, according to figures from the International Organization for Migration.
Madrid has been pressing the European Union to unlock funds for Morocco to better tackle people smuggling into the bloc.
While the majority of migrants have taken the perilous sea journey, others have scaled fences into Ceuta and Melilla which border Morocco.
Brexit
The United Kingdom will “split apart” because of the pressures of Brexit .. so Spain’s foreign minister has warned.
In an interview this morning Josep Borrell said he believed there was an underlying “weakness” to the union underpinning the United Kingdom.
Contrasting British separatist movements in Scotland and Ireland with Catalonia, Mr Borrell told the Politico news website he was more worried about the unity of the United Kingdom than the unity of Spain.
Brexit has raised both hopes and fears of a united Ireland and independent Scotland he said.
In the same interview Mr Borrell also hinted that Spain would have no problem with an independent Scotland, and would not seek to block it from joining the EU, as long as it left the UK through legal means.
