Sánchez claims no evidence against Morocco in Ceuta crisis

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated in Congress that there is no evidence demonstrating Morocco's responsibility in the recent migration crisis in Ceuta. The statement followed questions regarding events that began in late July when many migrants attempted to cross into the Spanish city.

Sánchez detailed that if there were concrete evidence against the neighboring country, the government would act accordingly. The Prime Minister indicated that information and reports about the situation would be made public, highlighting that a call to the Moroccan ambassador was made on August 21, according to reported sources.

Meanwhile, pressure from the opposition has intensified, with the leader of the People's Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, questioning the origins of the operation that led to the massive influx of migrants. Feijóo alleged that the operation originated from Morocco, instigating the crisis in Ceuta. He directed pointed questions at Sánchez, demanding clarifications on what the government knows regarding the situation.

In his remarks, Sánchez also mentioned that there are no indications supporting the accusation of Moroccan authorities' involvement in organizing the crisis. However, a government member expressed that the question regarding the inaction of the Moroccan police still needs clarification, according to reports from DER STANDARD.

The situation in Ceuta has led to intense political debate in Spain, with the right demanding Sánchez's resignation due to his handling of the crisis. The criticisms are aimed directly at the actions of the Rabat authorities and their responsibility in the situation.

Sánchez faced strong opposition in Parliament, where he was criticized for his stance and for lacking evidence to justify confidence in Moroccan guarantees. The crisis, which resulted in a tragic crossing for thousands of migrants, continues to be a point of tension in Spanish-Moroccan relations.
