If #Spain had been led by the #PP, the attack on the border in #Ceuta would have prompted an outpouring of solidarity from right-wing #EU leaders. Instead, because Spain is lead by a left-wing government, all we got was pathetic political point-scoring and lies about a threat to #Schengen The reaction of some #EU countries was a shameful abandonment of EU solidarity at a time when it was most needed. #EUpol #Espana

The ministerial EU meeting on #Ceuta has just finished, and Spain has come out of it in a very good position. "We commend #Spain for their swift response to the situation in #Ceuta and extend our deepest condolences for the tragic loss of life." "communication [..] could further be reinforced [..] and [..] more coherent, especially to counter malicious external actors engaged in foreign information manipulation and interference" tl;dr: "we fucked up" #EUpol https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/meetings/jha/2026/08/04/

@jmaris@eupolicy.social Maybe the biggest lie is that mass migration can be stopped by border control. 🤔 Shameful, low-quality play for the tribunes. Surprised that even East European countries not really concerned by immigration joined.

@jmaris@eupolicy.social I know most EUropeans on Mastodon live under a Feijóo Dickriding Regime without ever having voted for these governments (except for the Poles, I get it..), but the fact that Le Grand Continent now has an official Feijóo Dickriding Map is sending me into a renewed fit of laughter every time I think of it. I mean, sure, fuck you in particular, *Denmark*, but I watch these governments negotiate the EU budget and lived thru Hoekstra asking for Spain to be investigated when Covid hit, so...
