Last week's deadly surge of migrants into Spain's North African enclave Ceuta did not "compromise" the European Union's visa-free Schengen travel zone, the Spanish interior minister said on Tuesday, following an emergency meeting at which member states affirmed their solidarity with Spain.
"It is clear that in no way was the Schengen area compromised in this crisis," Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska told reporters in Madrid, following emergency talks with his EU counterparts on Tuesday.
