For Giorgia Meloni, the Ceuta crisis is not a problem. It is for Pedro Sánchez – and a serious one – but not for the Italian prime minister, who has clearly exaggerated the risk that a portion of the 8,000 immigrants still accumulating in the Spanish enclave – the vast majority of the more than 70,000 who stormed the Spanish border on July 30 and 31 immediately turned back – could end up reaching Italy. More concerning for Meloni is the constant flow of irregular immigrants who continue to arrive through the south of her country, via the central Mediterranean route: through this route, 16,454 people arrived in Europe between January and July, a number higher than those who entered through Spain combining all routes (11,537 via the Mediterranean and 2,856 via the Canary Islands), according to the latest Frontex data.

Sánchez, before the Second Chamber

Sánchez, before the Second Chamber

The last plenary session of Congress is one of the most high-voltage parliamentary sessions that have taken place in Spain in recent years. The Prime Minister appeared, at his own request, to report on the situation in the autonomous city of Ceuta. The opposition was waiting to accuse him of “treason,” and none of his parliamentary allies, whether close or more distant, was willing to give him full support. The day before, numerous demonstrations had taken place in the main municipalities of Spain as a sign of solidarity with Ceuta. Convened by the Popular Party and Vox, these demonstrations became a cry of protest against the Government.

The Prosecutor’s Office points to a criminal organization in the Ceuta crisis despite the Police ruling it out

The Prosecutor’s Office has paved the way for the judge of the National Court María Tardón to agree to initiate an investigation into the mass entry into Ceuta from Morocco on July 30 and 31, which resulted in nearly 80,000 people crossing the border both by swimming and on foot, 82 of whom died in the attempt. After receiving the required reports from both the National Police and the Civil Guard, the public prosecutor maintains that there is sufficient evidence to start an investigation. Next week the instructor will make a decision, although it is expected to proceed.

Real Madrid succumbs to the frenzy of La Cartuja

Real Madrid once again left the Betis field empty-handed. Neither at Benito Villamarín nor at La Cartuja has the white team won since 2021, succumbing to the frenzy of the Olympic stadium in a crazy ending, controversy included. A goal by Parrott in the 80th minute brought down José Mourinho’s team, leading to their first defeat, but Madrid resisted falling. They found the goal in an acrobatic shot by Espí just after coming on, which was disallowed for offside, and Mbappé missed a penalty in the 95th minute, the icing on a disastrous night for the Frenchman.

Aitana, nostalgia of a new kind at Sant Jordi

Just a year ago Aitana gathered more than 45,000 people at the Estadi Olímpic, and this Friday she already began to surpass that record with the first of her four Sant Jordis. “It’s crazy,” said the artist herself, who admitted the nerves caused by singing “at home.” And although Professor John Keating from Dead Poets Society already warned of the dangers of translating emotions into numbers, there is no doubt that something exciting happened this Friday inside the Blue Room.
