Ceuta: Spain demands EU meeting, blasts 'selfish' response The recent mass incursion into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta has exposed a deep divide within the European Union.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has criticized certain EU nations for what he terms "selfish" behavior, warning that such actions can undermine the Schengen zone. Sanchez's criticism is warranted.
Italy's suspension of the Schengen agreement with Spain, coupled with calls from Denmark and Finland to reconsider Spain's participation in the deal, sends a chilling message about the limits of solidarity within the EU.
