The Bishop of Oviedo returns to the issue of the migration crisis in Ceuta: “They have taken over a city”

The Archbishop of Oviedo, Jesús Sanz, has made comments on the migration crisis in Ceuta during a homily celebrating the Virgen de Covadonga. He described the arrival of nearly 70,000 people as an "authentic avalanche" that threatens Spanish sovereignty. Sanz referred to the situation as a "hybrid war" with around 80,000 people, mostly young, taking over a Spanish city and leaving its population in fear, with reports of intimidation, degradation, and child rape. The archdiocese has posted the homily on its website.
