Feijóo accuses the Government of covering up the assault on Ceuta and demands judicial responsibilities

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, assured this Wednesday, after the police report that points to Morocco in the assault on Ceuta, that the Government of Pedro Sánchez "knew it and covered it up" and that there will be judicial responsibilities because "this cannot go unpunished." That said, he pointed out that "it is necessary to ask for explanations" from Rabat because "the operation left Morocco, it was consented to by Morocco and everything seems to indicate that it was also coordinated by Morocco."

"Consequently, I maintain that the Moroccan ambassador should be summoned immediately to give explanations about the actions of her authorities and to announce initial response measures. And the Spanish ambassador to Morocco should be called for consultations to evaluate the most appropriate measures," Feijóo declared in Ceuta during his third visit in the last month.

The president of the PP has stated that Sánchez is not in a position to guarantee the security of Spain, which is "the most important obligation of any president." "It is evident that the Government did not know and covered it up. It has lied to our faces, hiding the existing warnings and ignoring them, from the president to each and every one of his ministers," he emphasized.

Furthermore, he has demanded that Sánchez stop "pointing fingers at everyone to try to exonerate those most responsible." "In whose mind is it possible for the Minister of the Interior to address his subordinates by letter?" he asked, after Fernando Grande-Marlaska asked the director of the Police for explanations for the police report that attributes the crisis in Ceuta to Morocco.

He sees the Government "concerned about saving itself"

Feijóo has stated that "what is happening is that while the police protect the nation", the Government "is more concerned about saving itself and protecting Morocco", making a "dereliction of functions". For this reason, he has stated that "the only way out is to call elections and give the people a voice" through the ballot box.
