Por qué necesitamos acoger a los emigrantes

Ceuta's crisis was not initially a migration crisis, but rather a geopolitical issue; Morocco sensed the weaknesses of the Spanish government domestically and internationally, and encouraged or allowed nearly 80,000 individuals to enter Ceuta to demonstrate what they could achieve with Ceuta. Only later, after most of those who had entered had left, did the geopolitical crisis transform into an unresolved migration crisis, further complicated by the ineptitude and blunders of a government whose president continued to vacation for weeks instead of taking immediate action.

They should have stationed their government in Ceuta and barricaded themselves there until they had managed the situation.
