MADRID—Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez described Morocco’s actions during a crisis two weeks ago when thousands of illegal immigrants crossed into Spain’s north African enclave of Ceuta as unacceptable and an assault on national borders.
Asked at a news conference on Monday about comments by the Moroccan foreign minister, who linked the immigrant crisis to the disputed territory of Western Sahara, Sanchez said, “It is not acceptable for a government to say that we will attack the borders, that we will open up the borders to let in 10,000 migrants in less than 48 hours ... because of foreign policy disagreements.”
