Almost thirty days ago, when the Ceuta crisis broke out, the president of the autonomous city, Juan Jesús Vivas, requested the appointment of a single authority capable of managing all aspects of the humanitarian drama that he already sensed was going to devastate his city. Vivas’s request fell on deaf ears, among other reasons because the Government expected that the more than 70,000 people who crossed the El Tarajal fence would return the way they came. Minister Marlaska or Minister Albares limited themselves to not angering the Moroccan neighbor in the belief that if they kept the door open and Ceuta gave nothing to those who had entered without permission, the crisis would end. But it was not so.

La Oficina Antifrau de Catalunya (OAC) has opened a file against the mayor of Ripoll (Girona), Sílvia Orriols, for alleged irregularities in the hiring of her daughter as a local police officer. The procedure at the OAC responds to a complaint, which has been accepted for processing and now moves to an investigation phase (preliminary evaluation phase of plausibility).

The PP has reacted immediately to the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the Amnesty Law by showing “absolute respect.” “The PP does not interpret rulings based on whether they like them more or less,” sources from the Popular Party say. However, the PP leadership warns that this is not the “end of the debate” because now the Spanish courts have the power to directly apply the Amnesty Law. Additionally, the PP maintains its rejection of “criminal privileges” for the separatists.
