Santiago Abascal pushes expulsion of migrants amid Ceuta crisis
Vox leader Santiago Abascal has called for the immediate expulsion of irregular migrants who arrived in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, describing the situation as a "migration invasion" and blaming Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for the crisis. He announced he will travel to Ceuta on Sunday to assess the situation firsthand and has urged the militarisation of the Ceuta and Melilla borders.
Abascal also demanded that subsidies to NGOs such as the Red Cross, Accem and Caritas be withdrawn, and he labelled Sánchez a "traitor" and "corrupt" in a post on X. Security sources cited in the coverage estimate that more than 60,000 migrants arrived over three days, with a single‑day peak of around 49,000 arrivals.
