MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez accused Morocco of failing to protect its borders on Tuesday after thousands of migrants crossed into the North African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla last week.
"The neighbour (Morocco) needs to control its borders as well, and this did not happen," Sanchez added. "We're talking about Spanish cities, about European borders, and this must be respected."
