The leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, questioned the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, about his stance regarding Morocco during an intense session in Congress. Feijóo accused Sánchez of acting out of fear towards Rabat, especially after the recent demonstrations due to the Ceuta crisis.
During his speech, Feijóo stated that the recent migrant crisis, which culminated in the entry of over 70,000 people to Ceuta, was organized and consented by Morocco, indicating that the Spanish Government was aware of the situation. “The operation originated from Morocco, was consented by Morocco, and there are indications that Morocco coordinated it, and the Government knew about it because it was warned,” he said.
The leader of the PP also addressed the need for a stable bilateral relationship with Morocco, stating that this relationship cannot be protected by hiding relevant facts. Additionally, he demanded a firmer stance from the Spanish Government regarding what he described as an act of “hybrid warfare.” “Spain does not outsource its sovereignty to anyone,” he asserted while reiterating that Ceuta and Melilla are part of Spain and their sovereignty is non-negotiable.
Feijóo emphasized that if they were to come to power, there would be no doubts about the President of the Government’s freedom, referring to the accusations of espionage through Pegasus software. He also directly asked Sánchez what information Morocco might have about him that would cause him fear. “What does Morocco know about you?” Feijóo questioned, concluding that “no personal fear can take precedence over national interest.”
The atmosphere in Congress was tense, with Feijóo accusing Sánchez of lying during his appearance and suggesting that if he was unaware of the situation in Ceuta, he should resign for incompetence. He also pointed out that if the Government had covered up information, it would be complicit in the events. This discussion occurs in the context of growing concern over the Government’s management of migration issues.
