The former Prime Minister Felipe González has said it, for the first time, loud and clear. In his opinion, there should be general elections this year, given the weakness of the current Government of Pedro Sánchez. Although González does not base this opinion exclusively on the latest events surrounding his successor José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, he maintains that he cannot imagine him in the role depicted by the UDEF about him, at the head of a criminal organization involved in influence peddling, but he assures that the judge handling the case is being “extremely protective of rights.” He said this in the interview he held at the forum of the Valencian Business Association, AVE, chaired by Vicente Boluda.

At 25 years old, Fátima has made twenty attempts to swim from Fnideq (Castillejos, northern Morocco) to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. “I don’t care about the risk, I will return,” she says. Like her, hundreds of young people are taking to the sea without Moroccan security preventing it in the largest migration crisis since 2021, about which Rabat maintains a striking silence.

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.
