European Parliament to debate Ceuta migration crisis

The European Parliament to debate Ceuta crisis is set to take place amid a fierce political backlash following a massive surge of irregular migrants into the Spanish exclave. Lawmakers in Strasbourg are scheduled to hold a heated debate, with a subsequent resolution and vote anticipated.

Previously, the European Union held a video-conference in August upon a 22-country initiative led by Italy and Denmark for a coordinated European response to the migrant crisis.
