Robles pide disculpas en el Congreso y reconoce que el Gobierno actuó mal y llegó tarde a Ceuta

La ministra de Defensa no aclara la autoría de la crisis ni ofrece datos del balance como exige la oposición y los aliados

Robles pide disculpas en el Congreso y reconoce que el Gobierno actuó mal y llegó tarde a Ceuta

Minister Margarita Robles apologized in Congress for the government's malpractice and tardiness in addressing the Ceuta crisis. This unprecedented move by a minister occurred during her presentation to the Cortes on the Ceuta crisis, which encompassed the efforts of the entire cabinet. The minister bluntly admitted, without sugarcoating, that the majority of Ceutians believe the Pedro Sánchez government has made "something" wrong and "has arrived late," causing feelings of "abandonment, sadness, and anguish."

The four-hour appearance by the Defense Minister, the first of nine requested by various government members, failed to clarify the murky authorship of this "multicrisis" or provide balance sheets on the number of immigrants who arrived, died, or remained in Ceuta, as primarily demanded by her parliamentary allies. The opposition party, the People's Party (PP), demanded her resignation.
