The spokesperson for Vox in the Congress of Deputies, Pepa Millán, argues that the entry of 50,000 migrants in Ceuta last Thursday was not a "migratory crisis," but a "hybrid operation" driven by the "Moroccan regime" with the aim of "using its population as a geopolitical weapon."
In an interview on Radio Nacional de España, reported by Europa Press, she reproached the central Government for having "kneeling" and for deciding to summon the Italian ambassador instead of the Moroccan one, without also demanding that Morocco open an investigation into what happened.
Criticism of Spain and the European Union's role in Ceuta
According to Millán, Spanish citizens feel "abandoned" by "national and supranational instances" after the support of the President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, for the Government of Spain and Morocco for their actions regarding the migratory crisis in Ceuta.
In the same vein, she indicated that it "stands out" the support from Brussels for the Spanish Executive and considers that it "is unacceptable" that Spain, Morocco, and Von der Leyen maintain a coinciding discourse about what happened in the autonomous city.
"We are not going to recover the security of our Spanish cities until we throw out of Moncloa a government that has put Spain on its knees in front of Morocco," she stated, demanding to "protect the identity" of Spain, "recover its place in the world," "regain respect," and "respect the nation itself."
Support from Vox for the position of the Italian Government
The leader of Vox has also reiterated her support for the Italian Government's decision to close the airspace with Spain and to propose its expulsion from the Schengen area. In her opinion, "it is logical that in the face of an invasion that has taken place at the entrance to Europe from the south (...) any government worth its salt protects its nationals and protects its borders."
