Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has rejected claims that his government ignored warnings before an estimated 60,000 people entered the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco, according to CNN.
Speaking to parliament Thursday, Sánchez said Spain received no special alerts or warnings predicting either the likelihood or scale of the July 30-31 border surge. He said the government reviewed communications and reports from state security agencies and found only routine assessments.
Most of those who crossed into Ceuta have since returned to Morocco. However, the episode has developed into a major political challenge for Sánchez, with questions over whether Spanish authorities were adequately prepared for the sudden influx.
The controversy has also drawn attention beyond Spain as officials face continued scrutiny over border security and migration management.
