Última hora de la crisis migratoria en Ceuta y la actualidad política, en directo | La crisis en Ceuta pasa factura al PSOE, que pierde dos puntos en intención de voto, según el CIS

The Ceuta crisis is affecting the PSOE's electoral prospects, according to the CIS (Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas). The socialists have lost two percentage points in their electoral intention, now at 31%; while the People's Party (PP) has narrowed the gap with the PSOE to 5.5%, up 0.4 points from July. Vox has gained 1.3 points and maintains third place with 16.6% of the electoral intention.

The Galician party continues to lose ground and remains at 5.7%, down 0.4 points from July. In political terms, Óscar López, the Minister of Digital Transformation and Public Function, has insisted on TVE that the government had no information suggesting a massive influx of migrants into Ceuta. "There are permanent alerts. Of course.

Did it reach this scale? No. No one was able to predict a 70,000-person assault," he explained. The Minister of Public Function affirmed that the government had acted "to defend and support Ceuta and Melilla," and that Spain is "perfectly capable of defending its borders" while respecting international law and human rights. The declassification and publication of 40 documents on the massive entry of people on July 30 and 31 sparked a political storm with accusations of ignoring the alerts.
