5/5 Polarisation may facilitate recruitment. But networks can also provide access to resources, infrastructure and expertise. Assessing the threat means asking not just who is connected, but what those connections enable.

14 arrests. A recruitment network linked to racist attacks. Contacts in 14 countries. Firearms training in Ukraine. Núcleo Nacional's ambitions and potential for violence go beyond street protests. And the implications extend beyond Spain.

The Commission has identified gaps in upstream information-sharing, while Member States are now discussing a European Emergency Response Framework.
A key question is becoming more pressing: how do we turn early warning into timely reinforcement before capacity is overwhelmed?

What did Europe actually learn from Ceuta?

The EU response has strengthened border control, surveillance, screening and reinforcement. But those measures do not resolve every counterterrorism vulnerability exposed by the crisis.

Ceuta no fue solo una crisis fronteriza; fue una crisis de interdependencias. Mostró qué ocurre cuando se tensan a la vez sistemas que solemos tratar por separado.
Lo analicé para @FightExtremism (https://t.co/MNAuCaQRKe) y hoy en La Vanguardia: https://t.co/ZJIlXYEgBr

Ceuta exposed more than a migration problem. My @FightExtremism report examines how disruption at the EU’s border cascades across three connected domains: border management, human security, and counterterrorism https://t.co/MNAuCaQjUG

📣 New Report:
As the European Parliament prepares to vote on the Ceuta crisis, CEP examines a critical question: how resilient are Europe’s borders when key security functions depend on cooperation beyond the EU?

The Shamima Begum case raises a series of critical questions, writes @JunFGG: Does fear of terrorism justify eroding protections for minors? How can policy balance security and human rights? Can risk-managed return be safer than permanent banishment?

[CEP @FightExtremism]

In light of the European Court of Human Rights intervention in the Shamima Begum case, which raises questions over the UK’s responsibilities to victims of trafficking, @JunFGG examines issues at the intersection of counterterrorism & human rights.
