In July, many people came to Ceuta. They were more than 72000 people. They swam or walked over the border. At least 100 people died.
Ceuta is a Spanish town in North Africa. It lies at the border to Morocco. Many people ask now: Did Morocco plan the rush? The opposition in Spain thinks this.
Prime minister Pedro Sanchez says: No. There are no proofs for a rule by Morocco. Neither the EU nor secret services found proofs. Sanchez defends his view in parliament.
A report of the police says something else. Moroccan officers shall show the way. They shall not stop the rush. Sanchez wants to check this.
The leader sees other reasons for the crisis. He talks about fake news from Russia and Israel. These lands want to harm Spain. Also right extremists share wrong news online.
The opposition is very angry at Sanchez. Party chief Alberto Nunez Feijoo demands his step back. He calls the arrival of people an invasion. He accuses Sanchez of lies.
Many Spaniards protested on Wednesday. They demonstrated against the politics of the government. They want that Ceuta stays safe. Sanchez demands more help from the border guard agency Frontex.
