Spain accuses Morocco of ‘aggression’ and ‘blackmail’ over migrant crisis

MADRID: Spain’s defense minister on Thursday accused Morocco of “aggression” and “blackmail” after a record 8,000 migrants poured into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta this week largely unimpeded.
“It is an aggression of Spanish borders and of the borders of the European Union, and this, in international law is unacceptable,” Margarita Robles said during an interview with Spanish public radio, adding that Rabat was “using” minors.
