Ceuta businesses decry Sanchez migrant policy as border crisis paralyzes economy

Business leaders in Ceuta, Spain's North African enclave, are angered by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's call for humane treatment of migrants after thousands crossed illegally from Morocco in late July, paralyzing local commerce. The incident reflects ongoing migration pressure on Spain's external EU border and domestic political friction over immigration policy. The economic impact on Ceuta is severe, but the broader political and diplomatic consequences remain uncertain.
