The Ceuta effect: how far will Europe's anti-migrant backlash go?

In her state of the EU speech, Commission president Ursula von der Leyen proposed new tools to tighten border control after July's run on Ceuta, where over two days tens of thousands of mostly Moroccans overran Spain's North African enclave. The incident triggered a diplomatic row between Madrid's Socialist-led government and Italian far-right leader Georgia Meloni, plus new border checks in Germany, where the far-right eyes gains in regional elections this weekend. Real Madrid players refused a solidarity gesture they feared would read as anti-migrant.
