The Rest Is Politics · 559. Who Really Benefits from the Ceuta Migration Crisis? · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

It was very serious.

But in the bigger scale of things,

You know, we don't have much African irregular migration to Europe.

Yet this is the central myth.

By overreacting, however, by treating this as if it could possibly suddenly trigger, and the image was 2015.

Remember, 2015, a million people crossed from Turkey to Greece.

These were mainly Syrians because the biggest refugee crisis in the world then was Syria, and Turkey was the country with most refugees in the world.

Millions of Syrians had entered Turkey openly.

It was opened the border for years.

This time, we're talking about Moroccan youth who live nearby, very few refugees perhaps in that crowd from other sub-Saharan African countries, and yet politicians don't have the confidence to say, this will not end like 2015.

Instead, with panic reactions, and Giorgia Meloni, I think, I fear that the main reason she suddenly, I mean, it's ridiculous, talks about Schengen.

Spain and Italy have no border.

France is in between, right?

So if Italy says we will now control Schengen arrivals, it's about the planes from Madrid or Barcelona that come in the summer.

Now, both Italy and Spain are major tourist countries.

They don't want to inconvenience the tourists.

So this will be spot checks.

Yeah, it's ridiculous.

There is no fence between Italy or France.

Well, you're completely right.
