> Vox leader Santiago Abascal called Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez a “traitor” and a “dog” during a heated parliamentary exchange over the migrant influx into Ceuta, asking whether Morocco was blackmailing him. Sánchez replied that he might be a dog but had no master. More than 70,000 migrants entered Ceuta in July, most later returning to Morocco.
