The European Union wants to build a relationship with Morocco based on trust and shared commitments. Nonetheless, the arrivals have provoked a diplomatic spat between Spain and Morocco, particularly following reports and footage that seemed to show the Moroccan authorities allowing migrants to attempt to enter Ceuta without trying to stop them.ĬNBC has contacted the Moroccan Foreign Ministry for comment but is yet to receive a reply.ĮU Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson also tweeted that "the most important thing now is that Morocco continues to commit to prevent irregular departures" adding that "Spanish borders are European borders. Around half of the 8,000 migrants, who were mostly Moroccan according to the BBC, have been returned to Morocco, Spanish authorities said. A smaller number of migrants also tried to enter the Spanish enclave of Melilla further along the coast, according to the Spanish government. The influx of migrants prompted Spain to deploy armed forces to secure the beach and to increase a police presence in the enclaves. At least one person was reported to have died during the crossing. In the end, the two diplomats were collected by a car sent by the Bolivian foreign ministry more than an hour later, the Mexican embassy said.īolivia’s Foreign Minister Karen Longaric told a news conference the Spanish diplomats were accompanied on arrival by men with their faces covered trying to enter the residence surreptitiously.Around 8,000 migrants, including families, are reported to have entered Ceuta on Monday and Tuesday, many entering the territory by swimming around border fences in the sea that separate the enclave from Morocco, as well as reports of migrants using inflatables and dinghies. On Friday, Mexico’s ambassador eventually made contact with Bolivia’s foreign ministry, which urged the Spanish diplomats to exit the premises and walk back to their cars, but they refused to do so without their security details. Morales’s acceptance of an offer of political asylum from the left-wing government of Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador strained ties with Anez, an opponent of Morales. Mineworkers take part in a vigil outside of the residence of Mexico’s ambassador in La Paz, Bolivia Īnez took power last month after Morales resigned and fled to Mexico City following a presidential election that the Organization of American States said was rigged in his favour. “A serious violation has been committed against Bolivian sovereignty and democracy, which must be respected,” Anez said. The acting Bolivian government has initiated criminal charges against Morales’s allies for sedition, “terrorism” and electoral fraud and has refused to allow them safe passage out of the country. On Monday, Bolivia’s interim President Jeanine Anez said Mexican Ambassador Maria Teresa Mercado had been given 72 hours to leave the country. In the Bolivian city last week, diplomats said Bolivian authorities had harassed and intimidated Mexican diplomatic staff and impeded the departure of Spanish officials visiting its embassy, where Morales’s allies are holed up seeking refuge. The Mexican embassy in La Paz is at the centre of a diplomatic row after it sheltered nine or more officials from ex-Bolivian President Evo Morales’s former government. Spain will expel three Bolivian diplomatic staff from Madrid in a tit-for-tat move after Bolivia’s interim government on Monday asked two Spanish diplomats, as well as the Mexican ambassador, to leave the country, the foreign ministry said.
