    Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has urged Spain to swiftly regain control of its migration situation and fulfill its Schengen cooperation obligations.

Kristersson criticized the Spanish socialist government for not learning from the Swedish Social Democrats' mistake in 2015, where a 'no' was not a 'no'. Migration Minister Johan Forssell has been in contact with Nordic counterparts and is considering measures to prevent a recurrence of 2015.

    Mexican Navy Personnel to Testify in Fuel Theft Case

    The Federal Attorney General's Office (FGR) has authorized the appearance of seven members of the Mexican Navy Secretariat (SEMAR) as part of the investigation against Manuel Roberto Farías Laguna, accused of fuel theft.

The interviews will be conducted before the Specialized Prosecutor's Office in Organized Crime (FEMDO) with the presence of the Federal Public Ministry. The defense aims to clarify who participated in the decision-making process, how the operation was developed, and who issued the instructions related to the case. The appearance of the seven sailors is seen as an opportunity to expand the lines of investigation and establish who directed the actions related to the operation.
