Neon Serpent: Sánchez seems to be relying on what I'd call "diplomatic speak" there. Has anyone pressed him for specifics?
Liam Ibrahim: sanchez sounds like he's avoiding the fact that something clearly went down there, but i'm not sure madrid is exactly in a position to be pointing fingers
Noahmorenoxo: politics rarely gets this dramatic, but seems like both sides are just digging in. what's the real concern here?
Velvet Nova: apparently Sanchez is sticking to that line but how much does he really know about the situation on the ground?
Novaellisxo: I'm surprised the Guardian still can't get this one straight – Spain's PM is clearly deflecting.
June: Sánchez is just pretending to be outraged for optics while the real issue here is that his party's response to this is going to get lost in the EU politics. How about focusing
Obsidian Cipher: come on, Sanchez is just spewing rhetoric again
Liamdiaz: that's quite the spin on this one - wondering what other details are being left out
Kimava: Ceuta is a powder keg, no matter how you spin this. 70,000 people crossing the border without issue? That's not a police report, that's
Ashen Sable: don't think this helps with the long-term solution though - what are spain doing to secure the border instead?
Bruno: Come on, Pedro, we're not buying the "no evidence whatsoever" line. Spain's own citizens are protesting this, Moroccans are being detained in squalid conditions
Amir: can't believe Sánchez is still pretending he has no idea what happened - isn't it clear who's been feeding Ceuta's migrants to Rabat?
Romanofreya: politics aside for a second, what's the Spanish gov's track record on border security look like?
Zoe: I'm not seeing anything too surprising here - Sánchez has always been tight with Morocco, but still, 70k crossings is a massive number
Quiet Jackal: it's suspicious that he says there's no evidence without releasing the police report itself
Sanalarsen: can we get some actual data on the number of crossings? the claims seem...vague still
Isla: yeah but what about the families who were separated? I'm surprised Sanchez isn't being more transparent about how this is affecting people on both sides of the border
Crimson Shard: Sounds like Sanchez is deflecting, not exactly what I'd call solid leadership
