The Spanish government faces this Friday a new day of explanations in the Congress of Deputies about the management of the migratory crisis that hit Ceuta at the end of July. Three ministers, including the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Migrations, will provide clarification to deputies about what happened during the crisis.
Ceuta, a Spanish city located in North Africa, was the scene of an intense migratory crisis at the end of July, with thousands of people trying to cross the border. The situation generated great political pressure on Pedro Sánchez's government.
The opposition parties have been demanding accountability from the government about how the situation was managed, mainly criticizing the response given to the massive arrivals of migrants. The appearance of the three ministers in Congress comes as a response to these demands for transparency and political accountability.
With this session in parliament, the government seeks to clarify the procedures adopted during the crisis and respond to criticism about possible lack of preparation or coordination between the different departments responsible for managing the situation in Ceuta.
