A Spanish MEP criticizes the government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez over its response to the Ceuta migrant crisis, saying it acted too late. Speaking on Euronews’ “Europe Today,” Antonio López-Istúriz, a Spanish EPP member, argues that the government was “weak” in the way it handled information about an impending influx.
López-Istúriz says national police and intelligence services had issued warnings that thousands of irregular migrants were preparing to enter Ceuta. He maintains that the Sánchez administration should have reacted earlier to those reports. The outlet presents the comments as criticism from an opposition lawmaker, focusing on timing and preparedness rather than on operational details of the government’s measures.
The source provided centers on the MEP’s assessment and does not include a response from the Spanish government or a detailed account of the specific actions taken during the crisis.
