  "account": "The exodus of tens of thousands of young Moroccans has opened a rift between the political forces of the Maghrebi country on the eve of September's legislative elections. Following official explanations from the Ministries of Interior and Foreign Affairs, in which the Rabat Government limits to 11 the number of deaths in Morocco during the migratory rush, Islamist and left-wing opposition parties demand an investigation into the tragedy as a week of border crisis with Spain comes to a close. Spanish and Moroccan NGOs estimate that the number of deaths in Moroccan territory rises to more than 60, compared to between 72 and 88 handled by official sources in the Spanish autonomous city.",
  "summary": "La crisis migratoria en Ceuta ha generado una división entre los partidos marroquíes, con los opositores islamistas y de izquierda exigiendo una investigación sobre la tragedia que se desencadenó cuando miles de jóvenes marroquíes intentaron cruzar la frontera con España. El Gobierno de Rabat ha limitado el número de muertes a 11, pero ONG españolas y marroquíes afirman que la cifra podría estar más cerca de 60. La tensión política se intensifica en los próximos meses, ya que las elecciones legislativas en Marruecos se acercan.",
