Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Thursday rejected, again, suggestions that Moroccan authorities helped orchestrate the deadly mass crossing of migrants from Morocco into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta, as pressure grows over his handling of the crisis.
A day earlier, tens of thousands of Spaniards in cities across the country joined protests against the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ceuta, demanding solutions and Sánchez's resignation.
In late July, some 72-thousand migrants swam, scrambled and later charged into Ceuta, a Spanish exclave in North Africa with just 84-thousand residents.
Most returned to Morocco or were ushered back over the border within days, but around 5-thousand, including 1,200 minors, remain in the city weeks later, according to the national government. Ceuta’s local government cites a higher figure.
