Sánchez uncovers a major miscalculation by the European Union

Source Summary

The first response —and therefore the most sincere— from the European Union to the crisis in Ceuta orchestrated by Morocco has been what EU policy can least afford: once again, division, a lack of unity. Pedro Sánchez, that from the very first moment has asked European partners for "solidarity and empathy" , has been found practically alone, pointed out, questioned, threatened in the face of an external destabilization attempt. It has taken Ursula von der Leyen five days to publicly support Madrid. It is the minimum required by her position. Tuesday's emergency meeting in Brussels could serve to minimize the damage or deepen it.
