Israel's adversary in Europe finds itself in a difficult situation
Thousands of Spaniards took to the streets of Madrid demanding early elections and a change in migration policy amid the crisis in Ceuta. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez faces pressure from the opposition and the leader of Vox. The crisis began in late July when tens of thousands of migrants arrived in the enclave.
Thousands of Spaniards took to the streets of Madrid amid the protracted migration crisis in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa. The demonstration, called the "March for Dignity," began at Plaza de Cibeles. The action was supported by opposition parties—the People's Party and Vox. Participants demanded that the government of Pedro Sánchez take measures to stop the influx of migrants and hold early general elections. Vox leader Santiago Abascal, who participated in the protest, demanded that migrants be returned to their countries of origin and blamed the Sánchez government for the crisis, linking the situation to Madrid's policy toward Morocco. The migration crisis began in late July when tens of thousands of people arrived in Ceuta from Morocco. Nearly two months later, about 8,300 migrants are in reception centers, while more than 4,000 continue to live on the streets. Spain is trying to negotiate with Morocco on the return of people. Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares discussed the situation with his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita. The Moroccan side stated that the resolution is delayed due to political disagreements within Spain. The article notes that the Sánchez government holds one of the most critical positions in Europe regarding Israel's policy, and now the Spanish prime minister has to face discontent within his own country.
