El MundoIndependent🔒ProgressiveFactual 85Objective 7014 days agoThe president of Ceuta, Juan Vivas, has criticized the Spanish government for its 'passivity' in addressing the migrant crisis caused by the mass entry of approximately 70,000 people into the autonomous city from Morocco on July 30 and 31. He questioned whether this lack of action was intended to avoid provoking Morocco. Vivas stated that Ceuta is still struggling to return to normalcy nearly twenty days after the incident, citing ongoing issues with security, services, and coexistence. He accused the government of downplaying the situation by claiming that only 2,500 migrants remained in the city within 48 hours. Vivas expressed concern over the unclear number of individuals still present and the lack of progress on deportation procedures. He suggested possible reasons for the government’s inaction, including incompetence, irresponsibility, or a desire to maintain 'pseudo-good relations' with Morocco.

This marked the first time a Spanish foreign minister had visited Ceuta.

El MundoIndependent🔒ProgressiveFactual 75Objective 5022 days ago Only 6% blame the Mafia for the Ceuta avalanche and almost half believe there was "pressure" from Morocco, a thesis supported by 61.9% of SocialistsA survey by Sigma Dos for El Mundo reveals that only 6.2% of Spaniards believe that human trafficking gangs were primarily responsible for the migrant influx into Ceuta in July 2023, contradicting the Spanish government's explanation. Nearly half (47.6%) of respondents think Morocco exerted pressure behind the event, a view supported by 61.9% of PSOE voters. The survey highlights a lack of trust in the government's narrative across all political groups, with only small percentages of PP, Vox, and Sumar supporters agreeing with the official stance.
