Spain Convenes Security Council over Ceuta Migrant Crisis
- On Tuesday, August 25, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez convened an extraordinary meeting of the National Security Council at Madrid's Moncloa Palace, 26 days after mass migrant arrivals from Morocco began.

- Government officials gathered to examine how Spain can protect its external borders if another mass movement occurs, coordinating intelligence, defence, interior, and foreign affairs leadership to assess future security risks.
