The spokesperson of the Popular Group in Congress, Ester Muñoz, has held the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, responsible this Thursday for "attacking the State" after, she claims, having consciously left the border of Ceuta unprotected "knowingly," as she has emphasized, as reported by the already declassified documents. Subsequently, she lamented that to this day there has been no resignation in the Executive.
"There has been no resignation," she exclaimed, although she admitted that "at this point no resignation is expected" and that what corresponds is for the head of the Executive to "dissolve the Cortes" because "he has lied to all Spaniards" regarding the massive entry recorded at the end of July in the autonomous city.
In statements to the media in the corridors of Congress, Muñoz reproached the Government for pointing to the National Intelligence Center (CNI) after the dissemination of documents that, she emphasizes, certify that there were "warnings" of what was going to happen. "It must be the first Government in the world that attacks the State," she emphasized, criticizing that, once they have been "caught in their lie," they dedicate themselves to "attacking the messenger."
The 'popular' leader has maintained that Sánchez "as always seeks responsibility everywhere in order not to assume responsibilities." In her opinion, "he has declassified documents, not all the ones that interested him, yet he has not been able to prevent all Spaniards from seeing that the Government has lied and has called into question the secret services of the Spaniards. And all to avoid taking responsibility himself," she denounced.
"They knew and did not put means"
According to her analysis, the Executive was aware that "there was pressure, that it could be worse" and that "it happens every summer." "They knew there was going to be a massive assault. They were being informed that, taking advantage of Throne Day, many immigrants were going to cross. They knew. And they did not put means," she insisted.
In this line, she stated that the Government has "lied to all of Spain" and is "stunned because it does not understand that when they have declassified the papers, people do not read what they read." "Spain has discovered a great State lie," she stated.
Muñoz has emphasized to the Executive that Spain "has the capabilities to defend its border and has not done so maliciously." Likewise, he has lashed out at the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, for suggesting that "we should not offend Morocco because otherwise the border will be unprotected."
"Listen, no. The border of Spain is defended by Spain, not by Morocco. Which clearly shows that the Government of Spain intended for Morocco to defend the border. And the question is why? Why, having the human and technical capabilities to defend Spain at its own border, does it have to depend on Morocco?" the spokesperson for the PP has asked.
After reproaching the Government for talking about "migratory crisis," Muñoz has maintained that it is "evident that it was an attack in the form of an invasion to destabilize Ceuta and, therefore, Spain and the European Union."
Criticism of Marlaska for insecurity in Ceuta
"WHAT DOES MARLASKA WANT TO SAY? THAT THE CEUTIANS FAKE FEAR?"
He has also directed his criticisms at the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, for pointing out that the feeling of insecurity in Ceuta "is subjective." "What does the minister mean? That the Ceutians fake fear?" he has questioned, accusing him of having left "the border unprotected."
Finally, he has rejected the "demagogic debate" that, in his opinion, Sánchez raises by stating that "either you let 80,000 people through or you shoot them" and has considered that "when the Government uses those terms and makes the false dichotomy of either being humane or shooting and what the opposition wants is to shoot, they are cynical and liars." "Our Armed Forces do not shoot in peacetime. Please, let us not be cynical," he has concluded.
