Helfer unter Druck: Demos in Spanien für Ceuta und gegen Sánchez
„Ceuta verkauft sich nicht, Ceuta ergibt sich nicht“: Mit welchen Parolen und Forderungen gehen Demonstranten in Spanien auf die Straße?
Massive protests across Spain, calling for Ceuta to remain part of Spain and criticizing the government's migration policies, have put pressure on the country. Thousands gathered in Madrid, with opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo accusing Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and his administration of lying about the migration crisis and supporting Morocco's claims.
Ceuta residents demanded the return to normalcy, stating, "Ceuta does not sell itself, Ceuta does not give itself away." The influx of migrants, which peaked at 72,000 in two days, has caused significant strain on the local population of 83,000. Ceuta's status as a non-Schengen area complicates Spain's efforts to manage the situation, as other Schengen members could impose border controls on Spain.
Right-wing parties Vox and FEMP, along with other demonstrators, emphasized that Ceuta is Spanish and will not be abandoned. While Madrid's demonstration was the largest, some cities held counter-protests condemning racism.
