El Gobierno y el Senado se encaminan hacia un choque institucional por las comparecencias sobre la crisis de Ceuta

Spanish political life, and the broader world, is no longer a quiet August month as previously thought. The Spanish Parliament's summer agenda has become more eventful, with numerous emergencies thrown into the mix by the Pedro Sánchez Government since the COVID-19 pandemic. This summer, the uncharted Ceuta crisis has been the main focus, with the People's Party (PP) accusing the Government of La Moncloa, and pushing the Senate and the Executive towards an institutional clash.

On one side, the PP, which holds an absolute majority in the upper house where it has submitted requests for ministers of Interior, Defense, and Foreign Affairs to appear. On the other, the PP's own representatives Fernando Grande-Marlaska, Margarita Robles, and José Manuel Albares, who have decided not to attend the appearance to avoid "duplication." They claim they will provide explanations through their own initiative at the end of the month in Congress.
