Feijóo accuses Sánchez of “unprotecting” Spain in the face of an “aggression condoned or promoted by Morocco”

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has accused the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, of “unprotecting his country” in the face of an “aggression condoned or promoted by Morocco”, in relation to the Ceuta crisis. In an exchange in which topics such as the Supreme Court's decision to suspend the right to vote of those naturalized with the law on grandchildren or Spain's failure in the PISA test have been mixed, Sánchez has accused him of "curtailing the right to vote of thousands of Spaniards."

Patxi López, on the Supreme Court's precautionary measure: "It is nonsense that generates doubts about our democratic system"

By Juan Molina

Upon arrival at the chamber, the socialist spokesperson in Congress expressed his discomfort with the Supreme Court's precautionary measure on the grandchildren law. “It is nonsense that generates doubts about our democratic system,” he defended.

López has assured that the declassification of documents that will occur this Wednesday about Ceuta will only serve to clarify “what was already known.”

Soraya Eguizábal is 13 years old, has a Basque surname and dark skin. He is from Ceuta by birth. “Come on, his grandmother was also born here,” adds his mother, Fátima Taieb. It sounds like a justification, because it is. The girl was verbally attacked at a demonstration because she was mistaken for a migrant last Sunday. She tells it slowly, a day after it happened and also the day before returning to school: “Now I'm afraid that they will insult me ​​or attack me again, I don't know what will happen when I return,” she says. The mother explains that the girl has rarely gone outside since the massive entry of migrants.

Congress resumes plenary activity with a new face to face between Sánchez and Feijóo marked by the crisis in Ceuta

Congress resumes plenary activity this Wednesday with a new face-to-face meeting between the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the leader of the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, in a session that will be marked by the crisis in Ceuta.

Feijóo will ask Sánchez how he is going to continue governing the remainder of the legislature, while the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, will ask about whether he is being blackmailed by Morocco for the "information they have about his corruption and that of his family."

He will also have to respond to the ERC spokesperson, Gabriel Rufián, who, along the same lines as Feijóo, will be interested in how he "faces what remains" in the final stretch of the legislature.

The crisis in Ceuta due to the massive arrival of migrants at the end of July will focus several of the questions and interpellations from the opposition to the Government ministers, who will be interrogated about the management they have done from their respective departments.

The PP also wants the Minister of Education, Milagros Tolón, to respond about the educational rights of Ceuta students, although it is foreseeable that the Pisa report, whose bad data on Spanish students was revealed this Tuesday, will be one of the issues that will come up during the debate.

As recent legislatures have evolved, any initiative that affects relations between the executive and judicial branches is highly sensitive and possibly flammable material. The propensity to talk about lawfare - use of justice for political purposes - and the tendency of the General Council of the Judiciary to be laissez faire - or laissez-faire - with judges have possibly stunned a part of public opinion in Spain, which often does not know which way to go when clashes between powers of the State arise. This situation favors a climate of more or less generalized suspicion that for some time has been promoting the deterioration of institutional relations and fueling citizens' distrust in their functioning. The expression “spurious purposes” has come into common use to define the reservation that may arise in the face of possible crooked intentions of all types of decisions, including judicial ones.

Good morning. We start the live narration of the last hour of the migration crisis in Ceuta, this Wednesday, September 9.

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, faces a new face-to-face meeting with the leader of the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, in a control session of the Executive in Congress, marked by the migration crisis.

In addition, the Government will make public today the reports it received between July 1 and August 1 from the National Police, the Civil Guard and the CNI on the migratory pressure in the city.
