Sánchez now demands answers from Morocco over Ceuta: Its border control failed
Apunta por primera vez a la responsabilidad de Rabat en la crisis durante su viaje a la Asamblea General de la ONU en Nueva York. Leer
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has stated that Morocco is responsible for the massive influx of migrants into Ceuta on July 30. He made these comments during an interview with CNN at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York. Sánchez said that Morocco's border control mechanism had failed and that his government had asked for responses and actions from the neighboring country.
He also expressed disappointment that Spain did not receive support from neighboring countries during the crisis, despite his own government's defense of Danish sovereignty over Greenland and support for Italy during a migrant crisis on the island of Lampedusa. Around 80,000 people crossed into Ceuta from Morocco in 48 hours, with around 10,000 still remaining.
