The PP (Popular Party) and Vox parties exceeded, together and for the first time, 50% of voting intentions, according to a poll by the 40dB institute for El País and Cadena Ser, carried out in the midst of the migratory crisis context in Ceuta. This mark represents a historic milestone in Spanish politics, reflecting the impact that the situation in Ceuta had on public opinion.
The poll revealed that 90% of Spaniards blame Morocco for the massive entry of migrants into the Spanish city of Ceuta. This unanimous position of the Spanish population demonstrates the strong sense of accountability towards the neighboring country for how it managed the migratory crisis.
Furthermore, 63% of those interviewed criticized the response of Pedro Sánchez's government to the situation. This significant percentage of disapproval indicates that the government's management of the crisis did not satisfy a substantial part of the Spanish citizens.
The crisis in Ceuta, a Spanish territory in North Africa, occurred when Morocco allowed the passage of thousands of migrants to the enclave, at a time of diplomatic tension between the two countries. This situation provoked an internal political crisis in Spain and strengthened the position of right-wing and far-right parties in the polls.
