Feijóo demands that the director of the CNI appear and announces that the PP will take part in the cause for Ceuta: "Someone lies"

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, líder del Partido Popular (PP), ha iniciado el nuevo curso político con una campaña para investigar la gestión del gobierno durante la crisis migratoria en Ceuta. El PP exige la comparecencia en el Senado de la directora del Centro Nacional de Inteligencia (CNI), Esperanza Casteleiro, para aclarar qué información tenía el Ejecutivo antes de la entrada masiva de migrantes desde Marruecos. Feijóo acusa al gobierno de contradicciones, señalando que la ministra de Defensa afirmó que los servicios de inteligencia alertaron a las autoridades, mientras el gobierno mismo cuestiona esa declaración. Además, anunció que el PP se presentará como parte en la causa judicial abierta en la Audiencia Nacional. Criticó la tardanza del gobierno en tomar medidas, como declarar la situación de interés nacional y activar la ayuda de Frontex, y destacó la labor de las fuerzas de seguridad, culpando al gobierno de no proporcionarles recursos adecuados.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, president of Spain's Popular Party (PP), has demanded the appearance of Esperanza Casteleiro, director of the National Intelligence Center (CNI), before the Senate to clarify what information the government had regarding the mass influx of migrants into Ceuta on July 30. He also announced that the PP will intervene in the judicial case opened at the National Court over the Ceuta crisis. "Someone is lying," Feijóo stated during his traditional start-of-year political gathering in Pontevedra, highlighting contradictions within the government regarding prior warnings. Feijóo criticized the government for its delayed response to the unprecedented situation affecting Spain's territorial integrity since late July. He accused the ruling PSOE party of taking a month to declare the situation a national interest issue, establish a unified command, request Frontex intervention, and announce reinforcements for border control. "In essence, they took a month to copy the PP’s proposals," he said. He emphasized that while everyone has the right to rest, they should not neglect their country or lie about the circumstances. Feijóo praised the actions of the State Security Forces and military deployed in Ceuta, stating they have fulfilled their duties. However, he criticized the government for failing to provide them with necessary resources or legal backing, leaving them vulnerable. He expressed outrage at seeing the Spanish Army retreat due to lack of means to defend against Moroccan migrants. He reiterated that Ceuta and Melilla are integral parts of Spain, as vital as Madrid, Barcelona, or Málaga. Feijóo plans to visit Ceuta on September 2, representing the PP, and urged citizens to participate in demonstrations outside local councils that evening. He assured residents that the PP would not abandon them. Feijóo launched what he called "the political season of change," emphasizing upcoming elections, municipal, regional, and general, as pivotal moments to validate the end of the "Sánchez era." He addressed hundreds of PP members and supporters in Pontevedra, flanked by figures such as former President Mariano Rajoy and current Senate President Pedro Rollán. Galician President Alfonso Rueda urged Sánchez to call early elections following what he described as the government's avoidance of responsibility regarding Ceuta. The third day of protests in Ceuta saw confrontations, fires, and the blocking of aid efforts by the Red Cross. Hundreds of Ceutan residents took to the streets for the third consecutive day to demonstrate against the migrant crisis, expressing frustration and concern over the ongoing situation.
