Sánchez does not calm the crisis

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General4 September 2026 at 03:30

Sánchez appeared before Congress at a moment of maximum fragility of the Government, after a controversial interview on Monday and the publication of a police report that points to a planned entry of immigrants, describing the permissiveness and accompaniment of immigrants by Moroccan agents.

The mobilizations in support of Ceuta also occurred in this crisis context, while questions about what happened multiplied. The account maintained by the Executive since the beginning faced new information that led the government to defend multiple versions, at times contradictory.

Sánchez presented his explanation around three fundamental questions: the possibility of having avoided the crisis, the causes that provoked it, and the measures necessary to prevent it from happening again.

Pedro Sánchez thus faced the appearance before Congress to try to clarify a situation that had generated multiple contradictions in his Executive's discourse, at a moment when the official version was being questioned by new evidence.

Meloni is the first woman to lead a government in Italy and, although she has broken the record for continuous tenure, Berlusconi still holds the record for most time spent as prime minister: nine years divided into four legislatures.
