This shows that right-wing extremists are lying to attack the Schengen area. The migrants arrived in an exclave completely separate from the European mainland and will be barred from travelling there.

    Nope, you really can’t argue that something that has been captures by the Portugese in 1415 and became Spanish due to royal unions in 1668 is not part of Spain. That’s like declaring that New York belongs to the Netherlands or that the turkish conquest of Constantinopel is invalid and that some Byzantine empire has a claim on Istanbul. It totally doesn’t make any sense after 600 years

      I’m not arguing that. I’m arguing that because they insist on continuing their colonialism, their problems with migrants in Ceuta are entirely self-inflicted.

        But what colonialism? There hasn’t been anyone born in Ceuta who is not Spanish for like 15 generations.

        It’s like saying Austria should decolonise the Alps or something.
