Spanish Prime Minister criticized for migration policy after the crisis in Ceuta

Opposition parties in Spain are criticizing Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez over the situation in the Spanish exclave of Ceuta, which has received 60,000 illegal migrants from Morocco, Politico reported on July 31.

"In Madrid, Sanchez's critics said that the crisis was the result of his own actions, provoked by a government program to grant legal status to more than a million illegal migrants," the article says.

Santiago Abascal, the leader of the far-right Vox party, accused Sanchez of provoking this massive "invasion" with his migration policy. He said that the prime minister was behaving like an "enemy of Spain."

"This national crisis can only be resolved by removing him from office before he tries to steal the next election," Abascal said.

The leader of the center-right People's Party, Alberto Nunes Feijoo, also attributed the crisis in Ceuta to "irresponsible decisions."

According to the newspaper, according to polls among Spaniards, more than half of them believe that there are "too many foreigners in the country already."
