The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, held Morocco responsible for the events of July 30 in Ceuta, stating that both Spain and the European Union were attacked. The statements came in the context of the migration crisis that caused a massive influx of people into the Spanish city.
Sánchez stated that the origin and causes of what happened on that date continue to be investigated. The situation in Ceuta generated great diplomatic tension between Madrid and Rabat, with thousands of people attempting to cross the border irregularly.
The Spanish Prime Minister defended that what happened represents an attack on Spanish and European sovereignty. The crisis led to confrontations between migrants and Spanish security forces at Ceuta's borders.
Spanish authorities continue with investigations to clarify the details and responsibilities for the events that marked that day in the autonomous city.
