00:01France's far-right leader Jordan Bardella begins a two-day visit to Spain for the stop in Ceuta,
00:07where a mass migrant influx reignited debate over migration.
00:12Bardella met Spain's Vox Party, Santiago Abascal,
00:16ahead of potentially milestone elections as Abascal blames his country's government for the crisis.
00:26Because Spain cannot forget, and at least of all on a day like today, our compatriots in Ceuta,
00:32who have endured an invasion sponsored by Morocco and allowed by our government,
00:36and who still today, and we have seen it in the streets of Ceuta, are suffering the effects of that
00:43invasion.
00:44Today, Ceuta remains occupied, and Spain cannot look away until this city has fully regained its freedom,
00:49its security, its dignity, along with the dignity of our entire homeland.
00:57Bardella accuses Sanchez's government of sending a dangerous message,
01:02claiming Europe's borders can be crossed with impunity.
01:08Contrary to most European governments, the President of France saw fit to support the Spanish Prime Minister
01:14in his migration fanaticism.
01:17In contrast, Georgia Maloney's Italy has taken the courageous and responsible decision
01:22to temporarily suspend free movements within the Schengen area with Spain.
01:27The Spanish socialist government has not only failed to protect its citizens,
01:31who sit in judgment in the coming weeks,
01:34but has also sent the signal that Europe's borders can be violated with impunity.
01:40Spain heads to snap elections on November 29th,
01:44with far-right Vox hoping to make major gains.
01:47Its French ally, the national rally, hopes for a stronger zone in the 2027 presidential race.
01:54democracy has a peaceful movement through the world's borders.
