José María Aznar visits Ceuta to condemn migration crisis

Ceuta migration crisis José María Aznar Spanish sovereignty border security Spain-Morocco relations

Former Spanish President José María Aznar visited Ceuta to express support for the city's president, Juan Jesús Vivas, and to condemn the current migration crisis. Aznar stated that Spain's territorial integrity has been violated following the entry of more than 70,000 people from Morocco. He called for a complete change in the government's political direction, arguing that current policies are weak and provocative.

The visit comes amid heightened tensions in the autonomous city, including recent protests and incidents involving irregular migrants. While Aznar and the People's Party (PP) blame the central government for the instability and a perceived lack of sovereignty, government officials, including Minister Félix Bolaños, have called for calm. Bolaños asserted that the State is working to restore normality to Ceuta and defended the government's commitment to the city.

Opposition leaders, such as Ester Muñoz, have further criticized the administration, claiming the government is solely responsible for the growing social tension and the humanitarian crisis resulting from the mass influx of migrants.
