The Popular Party raised its tone against the Government’s management this Sunday following the migration crisis at the end of July in Ceuta. And taking advantage of Mónica García’s visit to Ceuta, its Deputy Secretary of Autonomous and Local Coordination, Elías Bendodo, has demanded the resignation of the Health Minister, whom he has pointed out as “responsible” for the “healthcare collapse” that, according to his party, the autonomous city suffers. An “emergency” flatly denied by the minister, who has placed the complications on the street and not in the healthcare centers.

Bendodo has questioned that García came to Ceuta two weeks after the massive entry of migrants and has assured that the emergency rooms are attending to about 500 people a day, five times more than usual. The Popular leader has considered the reinforcement announced by the Government of two additional doctors and two nurses insufficient, which he has called a “mockery.”
From Tarifa (Cádiz), Bendodo has also accused the Government of sending ministers to Ceuta to “take photos,” but provide “zero solutions,” and has labeled García’s visit as an “August photocall.” He has also reproached Pedro Sánchez for remaining “lying in the hammock and on the beach” of the official residence in Lanzarote while, he has denounced, no one offers explanations about what happened nor guarantees that it will not happen again.
The offensive has also been signed by the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who has demanded “sensitivity” with Ceuta and has questioned the Executive’s response.
In a message on X, he has defined the situation as a “quadruple crisis: migratory, public health, public order, and national security.” “No one is able to understand the indifference to this chaos,” he wrote.
Feijóo has defended that the people of Ceuta have the right to “live peacefully,” women to go out “without fear,” and children to “grow up safely.”
