The Government has opened a loophole of self-criticism for its management of the crisis in Ceuta after the massive entry of 80,000 foreigners in an irregular situation. He has done so through his Minister for Digital Transformation, Óscar López, who has admitted that "surely everything can be improved", although he has stressed that "this is not the time to fuel controversies" and that "right now the most important thing is to respond" to the emergency in collaboration with the Executive of the autonomous city, with Morocco and with the social entities that are working on the ground.
Furthermore, the general secretary of the PSOE in the Community of Madrid has charged against Alberto Núñez Feijóo after this Wednesday he promised that, if he reaches La Moncloa, he will expel "all illegal immigrants and they are all, including minors." "It's embarrassing," he said about the president of the PP, whom, in an interview on TVE, he accused of having a speech on this matter that was "absolutely impossible to distinguish" from that of Vox.
According to López, what the opposition leader did in the press conference he gave from Ceuta was an electoral act with "the sole intention of scratching a handful of votes with misfortunes", which "does not provide solutions, does not help, does not agree" and which is dedicated to "pouring gasoline on the fire." "Spain is an exemplary country that knows how to protect borders in compliance with the law and human rights," he stressed.
Along the same line of argument, in another interview in La Sexta, the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Elma Saiz, who has remained in the autonomous city since Monday, asked a question in reference to Feijóo's announcement: "Is the PP putting on the table that in Spain, which is a state of law, we fail to comply with our commitments in terms of international legislation?"
The head of the Treasury portfolio, Arcadi España, has not departed from the official argument either. When asked by the media during an official visit to Alicante, he pointed out that "citizens were taken aback by the political rally" of the popular leader, whom he accused of trying to "seek votes from a difficult situation and providing very few solutions." "If the only proposal of the main opposition party is to commit an illegality...", he slipped.
In addition, this Thursday the evacuation of Trampolín beach was carried out, where thousands of immigrants who were not returned after the avalanche of July 30 had built precarious settlements. According to the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, their transfer to two of the spaces enabled with 1,800 places already active to accommodate them "in adequate and safe conditions" has been carried out "on a voluntary basis."
The "extraordinary device" for the transfer to Loma Margarita and El Embolsamiento has been developed in coordination with the State Security Forces and Bodies and the Government of Ceuta. The action has also been carried out in collaboration with third sector entities, such as Engloba and Accem, to respond "to the needs derived from the exceptional situation that the city is going through", while work continues to enable the rest of the planned temporary facilities.
