The president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has linked "inequality, despair, and misinformation" with the situation experienced in Ceuta, which he presented to the United Nations General Assembly as "one of the largest crises of irregular migration in recent years." In this scenario, he has demanded not to "yield to fear, turn the migrant into an enemy, and violate legality."
As he has pointed out, "inequality, despair, and misinformation have fueled one of the largest crises of irregular migration in recent years," describing the situation currently facing Ceuta as "difficult."
In this context, he has warned that "the temptation is to choose the shortcut; yield to fear, turn the migrant into an enemy, and violate legality." In contrast, he has emphasized that "but Spain is not going to do it, nor is Ceuta," highlighting that "its citizens are demonstrating that it is possible to face a crisis without renouncing decency, maintaining legality, and respecting Human Rights."
Sánchez has concluded by assuring that "we will come out of it stronger precisely for that reason, because Spain does not choose the easiest path," but the "fairest."
