PSOE faces allegations of internal censorship over Ceuta migration response

Members of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) are facing intense internal pressure and accusations of censorship following criticisms regarding the government's handling of a major migration surge in Ceuta. Reports indicate that party leadership has used aggressive tactics, including threatening WhatsApp messages, to compel dissidents to delete social media posts questioning the administration's response to the influx of migrants from Morocco.

Specific instances of this internal crackdown include deputies from Ceuta who criticized the management of the migration crisis and a local councilor in Segovia who was reportedly pressured to retract comments describing the government's actions as ‘shameful’. These incidents have led to allegations that the party is prioritizing narrative control and strict internal discipline over democratic debate within its ranks.
