The PP challenges the PSOE to summon the Moroccan ambassador in Spain for consultations following the migration crisis in Ceuta “We would like to know why she has not been called after the invasion” and why “she still has not been called for consultations after the Minister of Justice [Abdellatif Ouahbi] questioned the Spanishness of Ceuta and Melilla,” demanded the PP deputy in the Congress and member of the leadership, Jaime de los Santos, during a visit to Barcelona.
The popular leader refers to a television interview of Ouahbi, in which he stated about Ceuta and Melilla: “Every time we meet with Spain we raise the issue. We continue to claim our territories”. And also about his statements that Rabat is considering suspending the extradition agreement with Spain.
As a contrast, the popular leader criticized that the ambassador of Italy was summoned when the Schengen area was suspended and there has been no reaction with Morocco, especially after questioning the sovereignty of the autonomous city. “We would like to know why.” “Because of Sánchez we have ceased to matter in Europe,” he added about Spain’s situation in this crisis compared to other Union countries.
Furthermore, the PP focuses on the Government’s management of the Ceuta crisis and, in particular, on the Minister of the Presidency and Justice, Félix Bolaños. In this regard, the party has submitted a series of questions to the Congress of Deputies for Bolaños to respond “urgently” about all the arrangements and contacts with his Moroccan counterpart (Ouahbi) after the invasion of Ceuta two weeks ago and “after he questioned the Spanishness of Ceuta and Melilla.”

In this regard and about the visit of the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, to Ceuta and her words yesterday, the PP calls it “unacceptable” that only she publicly defends the “Spanishness” of the autonomous city and Melilla. “It is unacceptable that only one minister from the entire Government reminds that Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish.” “It should be the government as a whole that comes out to defend territorial integrity, to say that this invasion cannot be repeated.”
