Should the King go to Ceuta?

King Felipe VI of Spain expressed concern and indignation over the recent influx of irregular migrants in Ceuta, a Spanish autonomous city. The King reportedly wanted to visit Ceuta, but the Spanish government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, allegedly vetoed the trip. Sánchez stated that the King would visit Ceuta when conditions allow, but also made a remark that implied the King had not visited Ceuta often enough during his reign, which began in 2014.

The issue has sparked debate about the relationship between the monarchy and the government in Spain, and whether the King needs government approval to visit a Spanish city.
