The Government of Pedro Sánchez passed the summer examination of the Congress’s Permanent Deputation this Wednesday without a numerical blemish. The official record will reflect a clean plenary session, with zero lost votes for the investiture bloc and the withdrawal by the PP of the request to force the president’s appearance, after Moncloa previously announced that Sánchez would appear on his own initiative. But the political storm has run through underground waters. Just weeks before a decisive political year begins, with the negotiation of the general budgets on the horizon and the call for elections increasingly close, the investiture partners have taken advantage of the parliamentary return to remind the Executive that what they granted at the beginning of the legislature is not a blank check.

The Supreme Court ruled on July 8 that “hot returns” are not allowed for migrants intercepted at sea who attempt to enter the cities of Ceuta and Melilla by swimming. A few weeks later, the autonomous city has been experiencing a massive influx, for days now, of thousands of migrants, mostly Moroccan, many of them swimming. The Ministry of the Interior rules out that the Alaouite authorities have ceased to carry out their surveillance functions. Yesterday, the 30th, was Throne Day in Morocco.

The Government has confirmed that the leader of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, will accompany Pope Leo XIV in his meeting with migrants, workers and volunteers at the Arguineguín port pier (Gran Canaria), in an event scheduled for next Thursday, June 11, starting at 11:40 AM.
