Sánchez faces political pressure and doubts about Morocco in Ceuta crisis

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is facing a growing political challenge following the mass arrival of migrants to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Reports indicate that around 72,000 people crossed the border in recent weeks, sparking public calls for immediate solutions.

Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets demanding that the government address the situation and provide answers regarding the crisis. In this context, the government is aware that it has lost some support from public opinion.

Sánchez has stated that, despite speculation, there is no concrete evidence to support the accusation that Morocco has been behind an organized operation. Meanwhile, doubts regarding the relationship between the migration crisis and Rabat’s actions persist in public debate.

As protests continue, the pressure on the government to provide concrete solutions is increasing. In this regard, Sánchez has shown some willingness to consider Morocco's involvement, although the executive asserts that it cannot take action without clear evidence.

The dispute over the sovereignty of Ceuta and Melilla also remains at the center of the discussion, further fueling tensions between Spain and Morocco in this critical context.
