A quote is being shared on social media attributed to José Luís Carneiro, current Secretary-General of the Portuguese Socialist Party. According to this supposed quote, Carneiro is said to have said: "If I were Prime Minister I would offer to receive half of Ceuta's immigrants," in reference to the migration crisis in the Spanish city of Ceuta.
The quote is presented as having been said "here in Vila Real de Santo António, in solidarity with my friend Pedro Sánchez," referring to the Spanish Prime Minister. The social media post attributes these words to José Luís Carneiro.
The article, probably from a fact-checking service such as Polígrafo, presents this supposed statement and questions its veracity, leaving open the answer as to whether the quote is true or false.
The context of the supposed statement relates to the migration crisis in Ceuta, a Spanish city in North Africa, and the political solidarity between the Portuguese PS and the Spanish government led by Pedro Sánchez, from the PSOE.
