The crisis in Ceuta is ceasing to be a humanitarian emergency and turning into a management and coexistence problem that the Spanish government has yet to resolve. Despite the creation of a single command under the direction of Ángel Víctor Torres, the reinforcement of police and military forces, and the acceleration of returns within legal limits, almost a month after the mass arrival, thousands of people continue to be in the city without a clear horizon for resolving their situation. The government acknowledges that normalization will take time and, meanwhile, the perception is growing that the State has not fully regained control.

TSE grants injunction to Garotinho and authorizes former governor to resume campaign activities in Rio

TSE minister Floriano de Azevedo Marques granted this Friday an injunction authorizing former governor Anthony Garotinho to resume his campaign activities in Rio de Janeiro. On the previous day, Garotinho had been prevented by the electoral court in Rio from accessing campaign financial resources and from participating in free electoral airtime, due to an alleged ineligibility still under analysis. The TSE minister decided that there should be "at minimum a relevant legal controversy" about the situation of the Republicanos candidate for governor of Rio, and that he should maintain the same campaign conditions as his competitors until the final judgment of his candidacy registration.
