Sánchez convenes National Security Council after Ceuta crisis

Pedro Sánchez has convened a meeting of the National Security Council for this Tuesday, which will take place before the first Cabinet meeting of the new term. This meeting comes nearly a month after the massive assault on the border of Ceuta, where it is estimated that up to 80,000 people entered irregularly, according to data provided by the government of the autonomous city.

The National Security Council, the main advisory body to the government on national security issues, meets bi-monthly, though it can be summoned extraordinarily in situations that require it. This meeting is occurring in the context of the recent migratory crisis, which has raised concerns about the territorial integrity of the country.

According to reports, the meeting will be held 26 days after what has been described as an 'attack on territorial integrity' in Ceuta. This situation has been the subject of debate and analysis in multiple forums, highlighting the need for a coordinated response to the crisis.

Additionally, the meeting is expected to feature the presence of the president of the autonomous city of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas. His participation is significant as the event that triggered this convening has had a direct impact on his locality.

So far, the government has held two coordination meetings in August, reflecting the interest in addressing the crisis and its implications. However, details regarding the specific actions that will be discussed at this meeting of the National Security Council have not been made publicly available.

The meeting will allow for the discussion of measures that will be implemented to handle similar crisis situations in the future, although no specific references have been made to the decisions that will be taken this time. The meeting is seen as an opportunity to establish a stronger approach to migration challenges.
