Spain’s attempt to give legal cover to #pushbacks policy in #Ceuta & #Melilla under fire
Spain’s government came under fierce criticism this week after proposing an amendment to Spain’s Aliens law in order to allow the summary return of migrants attempting to cross the border in Ceuta and Melilla – “rejections at the border”, in the language of the Spanish government.
“Foreigners who are detected at the border in Ceuta in Melilla, attempting a non-authorised crossing of the border, in a clandestine, flagrant or violent way, will be rejected in order to avoid their illegal entry in Spain”, the amendment reads.
