Crisis in Ceuta deepens after resignation of government delegate's advisor

The crisis over the Spanish authorities' handling of the mass arrival of migrants in Ceuta has deepened following the resignation of Gonzalo Sanz, head of the office of the government delegate in the enclave. Sanz linked his departure to the claim that the delegate, Miguel Ángel Pérez Triano, had been informed of the intelligence service's warnings. svet.sme.sk ↗

Sanz stated that the reports from the individual state bodies "demonstran la labor de aviso y alerta que se realizó desde delegación del Gobierno hacia los distintos ministerios." His resignation cast further doubt on the delegate's earlier public defense, in which he claimed that the report from the National Intelligence Centre had not been a warning of an imminent mass entry.

The opposition People's Party is calling for a unified stance among its representatives in criticizing the government of Pedro Sánchez and has signaled further political steps once the documents are made public. Its leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, declared that "La agresión de Marruecos continúa y Ceuta será el epitafio de Sánchez." The prime minister, however, has according to earlier statements denied that Morocco orchestrated the crisis or that his government ignored the available warnings. El Mundo ↗

Criticism is also coming from Socialist ranks. The head of the government of the autonomous region of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, described the case as a possible "second great lie of democracy" and called on the government to urgently explain its response. The president of the Supreme Court also stated that the situation requires a response that protects the integrity of the borders. The dispute is now focused on who received the warnings, how they were assessed, and why more effective measures were not taken.
