Madrid (Spain), 31 Aug. (LaPresse) – In an interview with Cadena Ser, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, speaking about the crisis in Ceuta and its repercussions, pointed the finger at social media platforms linked to Russia and Israel that have spread fake news, and at “the international far right” which, he said, “constantly uses the issue of immigration not only to attack Spain, but also to attack Europe and divide it” . The Spanish Prime Minister ruled out Morocco’s involvement in the Ceuta crisis, stating that the country had offered “immediate cooperation” following the mass arrival of people in the exclave. “There is no information that casts doubt on the involvement, in one form or another, of the Moroccan authorities,” said the Socialist leader. Sánchez instead pointed to the circulation on social media of a distorted interpretation of the Supreme Court’s ruling on swimming across the border as the trigger. The Spanish Prime Minister finally called for European solidarity to tackle the migration crisis and recalled that “in Lampedusa, Spain took in the migrants who arrived”.
