Conservative Spanish journalist Javier Negre reveals that residents of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave bordering Morocco in North Africa, say the Spanish government is not doing enough to prevent another flood of migrants from Morocco.
Santiago Abascal, leader of the Vox party, branded Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez a "traitor" and "a dog" during a parliamentary session, questioning if Sánchez was being blackmailed by Morocco amid the border crisis in Ceuta.
During the heated exchange, Sánchez responded to Abascal's accusations by stating, "I may be a dog, but I have no master." Abascal then held up sheets of paper spelling out "Traidor," the Spanish word for "traitor," before Sánchez sat down.
Spain has experienced significant protests in response to the migrant arrivals in Ceuta, with critics blaming Sánchez for the crisis and some accusing him of appeasing Morocco.
More than 70,000 migrants entered Ceuta in July. While most have since returned to Morocco, a significant number remain in the enclave, with some residing in temporary tent encampments.
Declassified documents released by the Spanish government indicate that the National Intelligence Center (CNI) issued multiple warnings prior to the mass crossing of migrants from Morocco into Ceuta in late July. On July 29, the day before the influx began, the CNI sent an alert via WhatsApp to the Spanish government's delegation in Ceuta, warning of social media calls for an "assault on the fence and by sea tomorrow at 8 p.m." The message highlighted the scale of the mobilization, noting "two different groups with a total of 180,000 followers."
