Robles apologizes in Congress and acknowledges that the Government acted badly and arrived late in Ceuta
The Defence Minister does not clarify who is responsible for the crisis nor does she provide casualty figures as the opposition and allies are demanding.
Spanish Defence Minister Margarita Robles appeared in Congress to discuss the crisis in Ceuta, admitting that the government of Pedro Sánchez may have made mistakes and responded too slowly, leading to feelings of abandonment and distress among the city's residents. The almost four-hour hearing, the first of nine requested by different government members, did not provide clarity on the crisis's authorship or statistics on immigrants who arrived, died, or stayed in Ceuta. The opposition PP party called for Robles' resignation.
