Ceuta causes another clash between the Judiciary and the Executive over the reservation of a police report
Judge Tardón asked by phone, 10 days after ordering the analysis from the Police, that they not forward the information to the Interior Ministry.
The Spanish police's General Commissioner for Immigration and Borders, Julián Ávila, informed his superiors about a request from judge María Tardón of the Audiencia Nacional to keep silent about a police report on the passage of around 70,000 migrants to Ceuta on July 30 and 31. Tardón had asked for "maximum reserve" over the report ten days after it was commissioned.
This has caused a clash between the government and the judiciary, with Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska expressing interest in the document but the judges defending judicial independence.
