  "account": "Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has reappeared in public after a month, including three weeks of vacation, in a radio interview where he repeated claims that an invasion of Ceuta by 80,000 to 100,000 people was a conspiracy launched by Russia, Israel, and the international far-right to destabilize the Spanish government. Sánchez's claims have been met with skepticism and criticism, including from his own ministers, with Culture Minister Ernest Urtasun contradicting him and blaming Morocco for the crisis. The Prime Minister's handling of the situation has been widely criticized, with many questioning his credibility and accusing him of lying. Sánchez defended his government's actions and denied any wrongdoing, while also attacking the opposition and his political rivals.",
