Massive outcry in Spain against the invasion of Ceuta
Un informe policial desmiente al Gobierno: se avisó del riesgo de una avalancha en la que hubo "planificación previa". Leer
Thousands of Spanish citizens gathered in front of town and city councils across Spain to show support for the autonomous city of Ceuta, which has been severely affected by a massive invasion of migrants since late July. The demonstrations, which took place on a day marked as the most unusual in Ceuta's history, saw widespread participation from citizens across Spain, despite calls from the PSOE for its mayors to distance themselves from the events.
The protests came amid revelations that police reports had warned of an "extreme" risk of irregular migrant flows and possible involvement by Morocco in the assault, contradicting the government's claims that Morocco is a "reliable partner". The Spanish Prime Minister, Sánchez, has faced criticism and demands for resignation, and is set to appear in Congress to account for his government's handling of the crisis.
