Macron reported that he spoke with the Prime Minister of Spain to express solidarity with Madrid. According to him, the interior ministers of the two countries remain in constant contact and are monitoring the situation's development.
"Just yesterday I instructed the interior minister, if necessary, to strengthen control on our border with Spain: four mobile force units, planes, and drones have already been deployed. These measures complement the steps we have been taking since 2020 to better protect our border with Spain in close coordination, notably through joint units and joint actions to combat illegal migration," the President of France wrote.
At the same time, Macron welcomed Spain's cooperation with Morocco, noting that just today it made it possible to return more than 40 thousand people from Ceuta to Morocco.
The President of France emphasized that these measures complement the existing mechanisms for protecting the European Union's external borders and for implementing the migration pact. According to him, last year the number of illegal crossings of EU borders fell by 25%, and the decline has continued on the Atlantic and western Mediterranean routes since 2026.
