Schengen

The Ceuta Migrant Surge Wasn’t a Crisis. It Was a Geopolitical Weapon.

Fifty thousand people storming a border in a single day isn’t a ‘surge’β€”it’s a coordinated assault. Spain’s open-policy dream became a nightmare as Morocco weaponized human desperation.

You can’t upgrade a trust deficit with a biometric scanner.
