The Spanish government wants to have a commitment from Britain to support the inclusion of clarifications on the status of Gibraltar in the Brexit package. Meanwhile in Morocco, the Democratic Confederation of Labor asked El Othmani’s government about the steps it is planning to take regarding the status of Ceuta and Melilla.
Three months after Morocco closed commercial borders with Melilla, it is trying to stop the smuggling of goods coming from the autonomous city.
About fifty migrants, among those who forced their way into Melilla, were sent back to Morocco. They will be immediately expelled to their countries of origin. According to NGOs, their expulsion is «illegal».
