The government calls on Spain and Europe to have a 'structural migration plan' with 'clear responsibilities'
In the words of Counsellor Melgosa, what happened in Ceuta "is very serious" and confirms something that the Basque Government has long been warning: "migration has long since ceased to be an economic situation."

Facedwith the migration crisis that has erupted in Ceuta, an 'immediate coordinated response 'and a' structural migration planwith clear responsibilities' is the demand that the Basque Government has made to the Spanish Government and the European Union.
In a media appearance, the Basque Government's Welfare, Youth and Demographic Challenge Counsellor, Nerea Melgosa, described what happened in Ceuta as "very serious" and confirmed something that her department has been saying for a long time: "migration has long since ceased to be an economic situation."
After expressing her solidarity with the people who died on the way to Ceuta and their families, Counsellor has stressed that addressing the migration issue at its root is essential through a concrete plan. "We cannot continue to manage it through patches, emergency separations or decisions taken, regardless of the territories to which they must respond later," she said.
Possible consequences, in Irun
On the other hand, he has pointed out that the "police reinforcement" announced by France obliges the Basque Government to "immediately report" on the possible consequences of this crisis "on Irun, the Northern border and the Basque reception and protection systems."
Asked if the Spanish Government has contacted Vitoria-Gasteiz, Melgosa has replied that for now it is "impossible" to know how many of those who have arrived in Ceuta will take the route to the ACV.
