Spain summons the Moroccan ambassador after statements about Ceuta and Melilla

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, confirmed that the Executive summoned the Moroccan ambassador to Spain, Karima Benyaich, on August 21, due to the unacceptable statements made by two Moroccan ministers about Ceuta and Melilla. From Foreign Affairs they assure that it is the first time that the Moroccan position on these cities has been formally rejected through a call for an ambassador. Benyaich did not attend the meeting because he was outside Spain, so he received the protest through the chargé d'affaires and by telematic means. The mechanism has previously been used in other diplomatic crises, such as with Italy, Iran, Russia, Israel and Argentina.

Sánchez orders the publication of a dossier on the migratory crisis in Ceuta and Robles did not applaud his announcement

Pedro Sánchez announced in Congress that he ordered the publication of a dossier with documents on the Ceuta migration crisis sent by the CNI and the security forces to demonstrate that there were no warnings prior to the border assault. While her ministers applauded, Margarita Robles did not do so and maintained a serious gesture, which was criticized by Gabriel Rufián of ERC and Alberto Catalán of UPN, who pointed out discrepancies in the Executive. Robles defended her right to gesture and stated that she was proud to be part of the Government since 2018, while close sources indicated that she considers it a 'luxury' to be in the Executive and that the Ministry does not pose problems with the declassification, although they warn about possible foreign information in the documents. Moncloa downplayed the episode, calling it 'anecdotal'.

The Government of Giorgia Meloni becomes the longest in the history of Italy

The Government of Giorgia Meloni reaches 1,413 consecutive days in power, becoming the longest in the history of the Italian Republic, surpassing the second Government of Silvio Berlusconi. Now he faces the challenge of winning the 2027 elections against a united opposition and the advance of Roberto Vannacci, former general and leader of Futuro Nacional, who has surpassed his coalition partners in the polls. Meloni seeks to consolidate his legacy of stability, although critics point out the low political dynamism and the cost of pending reforms. The celebration in Bari marks the beginning of a long electoral campaign for 2027.
