Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez denounced on Saturday the “selfish” attitude of some EU countries in their response to a migrant crisis at Spain’s enclave of Ceuta, demanding ministerial-level talks.

“In the current international context, the European Union cannot afford this kind of selfish, polarising and unlawful reaction,” he wrote in a letter addressed to the heads of the bloc, seen by AFP, which also called for a meeting of its 27 members’ interior ministers.
