European officials acknowledged the immediate and efficient measures taken by Spanish authorities to regain control of the territory. According to Grande-Marlaska, the situation has largely stabilized, with approximately 70,000 of the 72,000 migrants who entered the enclave having already departed. The minister further clarified that the integrity of the Schengen zone remained intact throughout the crisis, noting that the enclave operates outside the specific provisions of the Schengen agreement.
