Following a major rush of migrants attempting to enter Ceuta from Morocco, Spain has begun installing a 500-metre floating barrier along part of the maritime border. Spanish authorities argue that stronger border controls are necessary to prevent further uncontrolled crossings and reduce the risks associated with mass attempts to reach the enclave. The move has also intensified debate over Spain's responsibilities toward migrants, the role of Morocco in managing the border, and whether increasingly restrictive measures can address the underlying pressures driving migration.
