MADRID, Aug 4, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Spain has returned to Morocco 70,000 of 
72,000 migrants who entered its north African territory of Ceuta last week, 
the interior minister said on Tuesday.

"We have reasonably established that 72,000 people irregularly entered Spain 
and 70,000 have already left," Fernando Grande-Marlaska told a press 
conference in Madrid after a video call with EU counterparts, updating an 
earlier figure of 50,000 arrivals.
