Spain's Vox leader calls migrant surge into Ceuta an 'invasion,' blames PM Sánchez

Santiago Abascal, leader of Spain's Vox party, said on X that the migrant surge into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta is an 'invasion' and accused Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of being its main promoter and responsible for all its consequences.

Abascal's statement, posted on X, comes amid a surge of migrants attempting to enter Ceuta, a Spanish exclave in North Africa. The Vox leader's characterization of the situation as an 'invasion' aligns with the party's anti-immigration stance. The post did not provide further details on the migration situation.
