France will reinforce controls along its border with Spain following the mass arrival of migrants in Ceuta, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said Friday.
Speaking to RTL, Nuñez said French authorities were monitoring the situation and remained in contact with the Spanish government over the possibility that migrants could attempt to travel north through the Schengen area.
He did not specify how many additional officers would be deployed, where the controls would be concentrated or how long the measures would remain in force.
The announcement came after tens of thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into Ceuta by land and sea, according to an estimate issued by Spain’s Interior Ministry.
