The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) endorses the amnesty law by considering that it does not affect European interests nor is it contrary to the European directive on terrorism. This was announced in the reading of the ruling of a judgment that comes a year and a half after the Court of Auditors and the National Court submitted the preliminary questions to the court based in Luxembourg.

The reception of migrant minors was the cause of the breakdown of the regional governments of PP and Vox in July 2024, and the entry into Ceuta of more than 70,000 immigrants from Morocco – including minors among them – could put the alliance between the two parties to the test in four territories – Extremadura, Aragón, Castilla y León, and Andalusia. For now, PP and Vox have avoided confrontation and have focused on targeting Pedro Sánchez’s government for its management.

Minister Ángel Víctor Torres (Arucas, 1966) has been responsible since last August 25 for the unified command to manage the Ceuta crisis. With experience in migration emergencies during his time leading the Canary Islands Government, he advocates collaboration with Morocco, trusts in restoring normality as soon as possible, and accuses the PP of “turning their back” on Ceuta.
