The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, harshly criticized this Monday the nation's Government, accusing it of acting "cowardly and negligently" in Ceuta. Ayuso declared that the executive doesn't even know "who enters" the Spanish city, despite Spain being on anti-terrorist alert due to jihadist threat.
The leader of the Popular Party in the Madrid region took the opportunity to attack the central government's management regarding the Ceuta border, questioning the security of Spanish borders and the national authorities' control capacity.
The criticism comes in a context of tension over security at Spanish borders, particularly in the Ceuta area, Spanish territory in North Africa that borders Morocco and has historically been a sensitive point in terms of migration and security.
Ayuso, one of the most prominent figures of the Popular Party at the autonomous level, has been one of the most critical voices against Pedro Sánchez's executive, frequently using issues related to security and immigration as political arguments against the government.
