Ceuta has been the biggest failure of the Government of the legislature

Recent weeks have seen a surge in reports of sexual assault allegations in Ceuta, prompting discussions among legal authorities such as the Council of the Judiciary regarding an extraordinary judicial situation. However, Helena Reinés warns against attributing these crimes to the entire migrant population or using their origin as an explanation for violence. In her video column, she examines how certain political speeches transition from specific facts to linking migration, crime, and insecurity through repetition. This phenomenon, known as the "illusion of truth effect," suggests that repeated statements can become more familiar and credible even without supporting data. Reinés emphasizes the role of journalism in providing context, comparison, and preventing individual cases from becoming generalized accusations against a group. The stories of young female migrants in Ceuta highlight the challenges faced by minors seeking asylum. One mother expressed her desire for a future where her daughters do not risk their lives to feel safe. These narratives underscore the complex realities of migration and the vulnerabilities faced by young women navigating new environments. Ceuta has emerged this summer as a testing ground for social democracy, much like Torre Pacheco was for far-right experimentation last year. Europe's attempt to function as a fortress has revealed the presence of dragons beyond its walls. The examination from Brussels tests Spain’s ability to deploy necessary measures and resources to ensure dignity for all migrants according to international humanitarian law. What is being defined today is the executive's muscle in response to a crisis that has transformed Europe's southern border into a kashba. Suddenly, the dragons of Sub-Saharan Africa have breached the frontier. Everything that appears unexpectedly in our secular life, everything that brings novelty or change becomes, in the view of the PP, a threat to citizen security or the Other. Indeed, people coming from very far away, fleeing where blood originates, flows black or fruits gold, appear twisted and dislocated in a country as conservative as ours, in a Europe that again feels the dark desire for the Aryan. The great discrepancy lies in the media force with which the right attacks the Other and the electoral wall that prevents them from reaching government, facilitating the Sanchez miracle of bread and fish in the night of Ceuta. Thus, Figaredo, the whistle of Vox, has gone hunting dragons, assuming from a town in Galicia. Ultimately, the dragon turned out to be him, emerging scathed and booed. Here, the paradox of borders takes its final form. Spain continues to manage its migration flows better than any other EU country, verifying something others fail to understand, that social democracy works. We live in a time of turbulent and feudal geographies where man begins to be replaced by the site. The vengeance of geography takes the form of a dragon. We live in a time of turbulent and feudal geographies where man begins to be replaced by the site. Madrid, with its rainbow-colored apartments and its disconnected president, is the inverse and internal mirror of the same paradox. The Spanish right, under the shadow of fascism, against the natural needs of the market (which demands labor), refuses immigration due to a misunderstanding of economics, disguised racism, and a patriotism of balance and marketplace too poorly integrated. Equality for Black immigrants, copper-skinned individuals, for "the races of the yellow heel," as Saint-John Perse put it. That is what it is about, in a Europe that has walled itself off against dragons. The Government of Sánchez has the obligation to make equality flourish for the Blacks of Africa and the Blacks of Madrid, fraternity for the nomadic tribes coming from Sudan, Niger, or mystery, for all that youth stripped of work, facial identity, tools, and words. Europe is today a problem and Spain, land of asylum, a solution suffering today the rampant lock of a right-wing faction with the wrong color of the flag, that of Trump. The migrants accommodated this week in two centers in Ceuta are the metaphor of the portable home of the woman and the man without a roof in the world. The Spanish flag seemed to have faded these days into a sad and anonymous silence, as if the other dragons, those that tighten Bruges from the other side of the Atlantic, had burned it. Meanwhile, here, intellectuals, the left, and the hungry legion, always the same. Four women migrants stranded in Ceuta share their experiences of fear and vulnerability. They crossed the Mediterranean, swimming hours without floats or wetsuits, navigating through the border and stepping onto Spanish soil. Three teenagers around 17 years old and one pregnant woman of 21 years recount their struggles over the past three weeks. They have faced hunger and thirst, slept in the streets, been evicted from a neighborhood, lost clothing and money, and faced risks of theft or sexual assault. Their stories reflect the harsh realities faced by young migrants attempting to find safety and stability. The management of the situation in Ceuta has been criticized as the worst failure of the current government. From a political, discursive, and aesthetic standpoint, the handling has been disastrous. The government lacks a clear plan and avoids addressing the structural issue, the relationship with Morocco. The declaration by Pedro Sánchez stating that Spain suffered an attack in Ceuta on July 31 but avoiding mentioning Morocco and instead referring to the nebulous concept of mafia to find an external enemy is a heavy joke. Similarly, the statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, referencing a Supreme Court ruling on hot returns to explain the incident in Ceuta is equally problematic. The government maintains an image of absolute submission to Morocco, conveying an inability to assert its interests before a neighbor it calls a preferred partner but treats as an enemy whenever it has the opportunity to demonstrate its geopolitical strength based on coercion. Spain has delegated control of its borders to Morocco, granting it the role of migratory police while knowing it is an irredentist country that will never relinquish sovereignty over Ceuta and Melilla. It is unnecessary to establish why this is an error. The position of Spain towards Morocco during this legislature, having betrayed our historical duty concerning Western Sahara, leaves us wondering if there are more people than we think in positions of maximum representation on the payroll of the Alawite dictatorship. Politically and concretely, the situation has been terrible, but not just. The communication strategy has been disastrous. It is ridiculous to see Ayuso in shorts and a tank top at the scene of an incident, but it is equally absurd to disappear on vacation during such circumstances, allowing the extreme right to exploit the absence. Sometimes it seems nothing matters. Humanitarian issues have not been handled effectively. It is shameful that 22 days after the decree requiring autonomous communities to assume the distribution of unaccompanied minors, no action has been taken. It is disgraceful that temporary spaces for accommodating migrants in conditions of minimum dignity have not been set up and that services responsible for their care, legal and health, have not received the necessary reinforcements. The ominous feeling is that it took three weeks to provide basic hygiene and humanity to the migrants and minors because there was hope they would leave voluntarily, as did the vast majority shortly after the arrival of 80,000. Never will we solve the humanitarian problem in Ceuta without solving the structural issue with Morocco. Because when we can relocate these minors, after breaking the coexistence in Ceuta, after feeding the extreme right these days, after breaking the unity of action within the EU and having...
