PoliticsEmbattled Spanish PM insists there were no prior warnings before Ceuta crisis

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told parliament that no-one could have foreseen 72,000 migrants arriving in Ceuta and called it absurd to claim the government knew and did nothing. He said there was no evidence Morocco orchestrated the crossing and stressed close co-ordination between the countries. Tens of thousands protested Spain’s handling of the crisis, while about 5,000 migrants, including up to 1,400 children, remained in Ceuta.
