A shocking police report revealing Moroccan coordination in the deliberate influx of 72,000 migrants into Ceuta has put Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on the defensive, with opposition and coalition partners demanding accountability for the government's weak response to this assault on Spain's sovereignty.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will be forced to answer before the Spanish parliament on Thursday after a police report exposed Moroccan authorities’ direct organization of the recent surge of about 72,000 migrants into the North African enclave of Ceuta. The report, prepared by the National Center for Immigration and Borders and made public by the media, includes damning images of uniformed Moroccan security personnel actively ushering migrants toward Spain’s border—clear evidence of a hostile act against Spanish sovereignty.
Opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has rightly described the event as a Moroccan-led operation, accusing the Sánchez government of a cover-up and demanding immediate snap elections. Far-right MEP Jorge Buxadé has gone further, urging lawmakers to consider criminal proceedings and denouncing the incident as a “hybrid war” waged by Morocco against Spain. Even within the governing coalition, the Sumar alliance and United Left are demanding the resignation of Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska if the report’s findings are confirmed, underscoring the government’s utter failure to protect the nation.
Interior Minister Grande-Marlaska, displaying the incompetence that has characterized this administration, claimed ignorance of the report and complained that its contents were not shared with senior officials. Justice and Presidency Minister Félix Bolaños admitted the government only learned of the document through the press, refusing to comment until it is reviewed—a clear sign of a government in chaos and denial.
Sánchez, who previously downplayed the crisis as an “attack on Spain’s territorial integrity” and denied Moroccan involvement, now insists that only cooperation with Rabat can resolve the issue. His warning that criticizing Morocco could worsen the situation betrays a dangerous weakness and appeasement, putting diplomatic niceties above the security of Spanish citizens. With nationwide protests erupting in more than 260 cities, Sánchez’s leadership faces a reckoning as the country demands decisive action to defend its borders and sovereignty.
