Sánchez uses the far-right victory in Germany to revive the PSOE after the wear and tear over Ceuta

The president states that the city “will soon recover normality” and assures that the result of AfD in Saxony is “confirmation” that the reissue of the coalition government “is more necessary than ever today”

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has cited the far-right's victory in the Saxony-Anhalt elections and the exceptional nature of his progressive coalition government as he tries to rally PSOE lawmakers. He has expressed confidence that Ceuta will "soon recover normalcy" and "emerge stronger" from its crisis, which has now lasted six weeks.

Sánchez attributed some of the criticism of his government's handling of the crisis to the global far-right's interest in attacking Spain. According to a 40dB survey for EL PAÍS and Cadena SER, 63% of Spaniards believe Sánchez is managing the crisis "very badly" or "badly".
