Declassified documents show that Spanish authorities did receive advance warning of plans to breach the Ceuta border on 30 July.

In the end, approximately 80,000 people irregularly entered the Spanish city enclave in North Africa.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is trying to show his government was not aware of the pending influx, but ministers have given conflicting accounts, and government sources say the file disclosure is only partial and subject to redactions.

Across six European countries, 68% of people in a survey out today spoke about Europe with a “sense of deterioration and a loss of normality”.

It’s not all doom and gloom, however.

Only 13% of respondents hope for “less Europe” or the EU’s dissolution.

And Poles were among the more optimistic: 21% say recent crises exposed weaknesses that can be fixed.

Rail Baltica, an 870 km railway that will connect Tallinn, Riga and Kaunas to the wider European rail network, has become a key item in EU budget talks.

Brussels previously threatened to cut its funding amid slow progress and skyrocketing costs, but Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania say the project is vital, especially given the threat from Russia.

Sigitas Mitkus, the vice-minister for foreign affairs of Lithuania, told Euractiv that security and defence spending should also include “connectivity and military mobility”.

Marine Le Pen has sent a letter of support to French to***co retailers as the EU negotiates tax increases on ni****ne products.

“I defend a freeze on to***co taxes and the indexation of prices to inflation, and I will initiate negotiations at the European level to combat the unfair competition that disadvantages you,” the far-right presidential candidate said.

The European Commission is seeking new EU-wide taxes to boost its next seven-year budget.

It’s a contentious topic as some governments try to curtail spending, but taxes on carbon emissions and e-waste appear the most likely options so far.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas wanted a council of senior advisers to drum up fresh ideas for European defence.

But member states aren’t having it.

Six days ago, Kallas said she would assemble the “brightest minds” for the group, which was supposed to be launched today.

But a last-minute rebuke by France, Italy and Germany is believed to have stalled Kallas’ plans.

“Some member states felt this was not the right path to pursue at this moment. After some discussion with ministers, we have decided not to proceed with the initiative,” an EU official said.

The reversal comes as Kallas faces another battle against Franco-German plans to fold her European External Action Service into the European Commission.

Giorgia Meloni succeeded in what almost every Italian prime minister since the Second World War has failed to do: stay in power.

But faltering reforms and a growing nationalist right could complicate her path to re-election.

Roberto Vannacci – the anti-EU, Ukraine-aid sceptic, former general turned far-right politician – is winning over voters frustrated by Meloni’s moderation on foreign policy and Europe.

Spain wants a new EU budget line to help cope with extreme weather, partially funded by a levy on oil and gas profits.

The proposal – obtained by Euractiv – envisages a European Climate Adaptation Fund.

To pay for it, Madrid is pushing climate-related levies on things like private jets and profits in the oil and gas sector.
