Ceuta vanishes: how a new migration crisis could undermine the EU economy

The countries of the union have already started talking about suspending Schengen with Madrid after the invasion of refugees into the Spanish exclave.

A massive influx of refugees from Morocco to Spain occurred on July 30. Since then, over 72,000 illegal immigrants have entered the country, while another 100 people have died.

The situation has seriously worried Europe. So, von der Leyen demanded the immediate expulsion of migrants and called the incident dangerous. Meanwhile, Italy has suspended the Schengen Agreement with Spain, and France has increased security at its border. As of August 1, about 70,000 illegal immigrants had been deported.
