The Ceuta migration crisis opens up cracks between the parties of Morocco, who demand an investigation into the deaths
The Islamist and left-wing opposition is facing the government a few weeks before the legislative elections.
The exodus of tens of thousands of young Moroccans has opened a rift between the political forces of the Maghrebi country on the eve of September's legislative elections. Following official explanations from the Ministries of Interior and Foreign Affairs, in which the Rabat Government limits to 11 the number of deaths in Morocco during the migratory rush, Islamist and left-wing opposition parties demand an investigation into the tragedy as a week of border crisis with Spain comes to a close.
Spanish and Moroccan NGOs estimate that the number of deaths in Moroccan territory rises to more than 60, compared to between 72 and 88 handled by official sources in the Spanish autonomous city.
