Residents of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta held a large protest Sunday against Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez over his handling of the migrant influx, according to Abu Ali Express. The crowd chanted insults directed at Sánchez, with the expletive-laden slogan 'Pedro Sánchez, son of a b***h.'
The protest in Ceuta, reported by Abu Ali Express, comes amid a severe migrant crisis that has overwhelmed the enclave since late July. An estimated 50,000 to 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into Ceuta in a single 24-hour period, increasing the local population by over 60% and straining reception centers to over 2,400% capacity. The situation has sparked civil unrest, with residents expressing anger at the central government's response. As The Zioneer has reported, Spanish PM Sánchez has faced mounting criticism from both domestic opposition and EU leaders over his immigration policies, including a letter from 22 EU leaders attacking his approach. The protest Sunday marked the most direct public display of resentment by Ceuta residents, who blame Sánchez for failing to secure the border and manage the humanitarian fallout.
