SPAIN
Sanchez’s address to Parliament on the Ceuta crisis, a summary:
– Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has acknowledged that Moroccan security forces “allowed” the entry of over 70,000 migrants into Ceuta on 30 and 31 July, but insisted there is no conclusive evidence attributing the crisis to the Moroccan government. At the same time, however, he states that it would be imprudent to attribute the organisation of the biggest migration crisis Spain has seen to date to the Moroccan authorities.
– Before Parliament on Thursday, Sánchez stated that “neither the CNI, nor the National Police, nor the diplomatic service, nor the European Commission, nor any international body has provided the government with solid evidence that Morocco planned or carried out the incident”. “None whatsoever,” the PM said…

Five Contradictions in Sánchez’s Ceuta Speech: {Trans, summary}
– In his September 3rd address to Congress, more than a month after the mass migrant entry into Ceuta, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez offered an explanation containing five major contradictions. The speech was met with widespread criticism, including from within his own coalition.
– First, Sánchez dramatically changed his description of the event, downgrading it from a “violation of Spain’s territorial integrity” on July 31st to simply a “migration crisis” on September 3rd, seen as an attempt to minimize its severity.
– Second, he announced the forthcoming publication of intelligence reports (from the CNI and FSE) that he claimed did not provide specific warnings. This announcement contradicts his own Defense Minister, Margarita Robles, who had previously acknowledged the existence of written intelligence alerts.
– Third, while Sánchez insisted “no one has provided proof” of Moroccan state involvement, he ignored the now public police report (CENIF) that clearly implicates Moroccan security forces, which were not acting independently of the monarchy.
– Fourth, the Prime Minister walked back his previous suggestion of Russian and Israeli involvement, offering only a passing mention of “disinformation” after initially citing “solid data.”
– Finally, Sánchez announced a permanent presence of Frontex at the Ceuta breakwater, as proposed by the PP a month ago, a full reversal after weeks of rejecting the EU assistance that had been offered. Critics conclude this rectification may be too late, as border agents on the ground had been requesting such support for years to prevent the crisis. These contradictions suggest a government attempting to manage a narrative rather than a transparent accounting of events.

Everyone piling on poor Pedro– Quotes from the official responses in Parliament to Sanchez’s address: {Trans, summary}
– Feijóo (PP): “Your Government has lied to us and is now doing so again. You knew and you covered it up.” He repeated: “He has lied to our faces. He knew and he covered it up.” On intelligence services: “To try to ridicule the State intelligence services for a month, and to do so again today, is a disgrace.” On Morocco: “Why are you afraid of Morocco? What does Morocco know about you? Spain cannot have a president who is under blackmail.” He closed with: “Mr Sánchez, the nation is stronger than your walls. The State is more solid than your Government. Both will survive you, I guarantee it.”
– Abascal (Vox): Accused Sánchez of “treason” and reproached him for taking 35 days to appear. He demanded: “If you have said it is a hybrid attack, who attacked us?” He described the mass entry as an “invasion” and highlighted sexual assaults reported during the crisis.
– Santiago (Sumar, Sanchez’s own coalition partner): “Spain has suffered an attack from Morocco, using vulnerable people. With a destabilisation operation with clear political and geopolitical decisions. Nothing to do with mafias and people traffickers. Morocco, in coordination with the United States and Israel, organised the mass crossing. To defend any other hypothesis is not credible.” He also stated “action was taken late” and reproached the Government for taking “a month to convene the Unified Command.”
– Nogueras (Junts): “Data and truth mean nothing to them.” She raised two scenarios: “We have only two scenarios: either you knew about the warnings and are lying to protect Morocco, or you did not know. Both options disqualify you.” She said “citizens deserve to know the truth” and accused Sánchez of prioritising “the interests of the King of Morocco.”
– Vaquero (PNV): “Sánchez, you arrive late and last.” She criticised changes in official versions and rejected ruling out Morocco’s responsibility: “Morocco cannot be exonerated from the crisis.” She said: “You have not grasped the reality and your informational swings do not help. You have missed an opportunity. You have not risen to the occasion. The scale of this crisis obliges you to take it more seriously.”
– Belarra (Podemos): “We must break diplomatic relations with Morocco.” She called the Moroccan regime a “dictatorship” and reproached other groups for not daring to stand up to Rabat. She accused Sánchez: “There have already been, Mr President, too many lies.”
– Rego (BNG): “Those most favoured by this operation are Morocco, Israel and the United States.” He said: “The Government’s management could hardly have been worse.”
– Valido (Coalición Canaria): “It is not bad to assist migrants in principle, but beware misguided compassion– it is not fascism to defend the integrity of the border.” She said “no one understands Ceuta better than we do” based on Canary Islands’ experience.
– Catalán (UPN): “This Government’s immigration policy has failed. What is worse: our EU partners, who could give us strength in this situation, are abandoning us.” He called for the dismissal of the Interior Minister and told the Defence Minister: “It is better to leave now with your head held high.” He closed: “Ceuta is not for sale, Ceuta is defended.”
– Micó (Compromís): “We do not understand why you defend Morocco, Mr Sánchez.” She accused the Executive of arriving “late and badly” and criticised the Government for not declaring a state of alarm “so as not to have the responsibility.” Image: ChatGPT.

Police identified 32 Moroccan agents during the mass entry of immigrants into Ceuta; it was a “destabilisation operation to test our systems”: {Trans, summary}
– A report by the National Immigration and Borders Center (Cenif) of the Spanish National Police includes 32 photographs of Moroccan officers, 11 in uniform and 21 in plainclothes, identified during the mass entry of migrants into Ceuta on July 30 and 31. The document was reviewed and published this Wednesday by ‘El Español’.
– According to the report, whose existence was categorically rejected by the Director General of the Police, Francisco Pardo , during his meeting with the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, uniformed agents appear at different points along the main route to the El Tarajal Pier and would have carried out guidance tasks during the irregular crossing of the border.
– The document, which was sent to the National Court at the request of Judge María Tardón, indicates that some of them helped people who wanted to enter Spain irregularly to overcome obstacles and organized access to the area designated for heavy goods vehicles.
– The Cenif also identified a group of plainclothes Moroccan agents, described as men between 30 and 50 years old, with physical characteristics and clothing different from most of the people trying to enter Ceuta. According to the police analysis, some of them displayed leadership and crowd control behaviour. The report also indicates that these individuals were observed helping to overcome obstacles, recording the unfolding events, or using their mobile phones. In some cases, the document adds, they allegedly gave instructions to uniformed officers deployed in the area.
– The Cenif report released this Wednesday argues that the mass entry into Ceuta on July 30 and 31 may have been an organized operation involving Moroccan agents. The document suggests that the mobilization was not solely motivated by migration and proposes a possible objective: to destabilize the Spanish response and test its security systems .
– The police analysis also indicates that the operation involved various levels of coordination and the dissemination of messages on social media to encourage the mass arrival at the border. The report describes the Moroccan security forces’ permissive actions during the incident.
– After the existence of the report became known, the Minister of the Interior, Grande-Marlaska, demanded explanations from Pardo about the content of the report and about when the body became aware of its conclusions. However, after consulting with those in charge of the units involved, the Chief of Police assured that there is no police report that directly attributes the planning or execution of the mass entry to the Moroccan security forces.

Nine Months Later and the Adamuz Train Wreck Rails Still Have Not Been Analysed: {Trans, summary}
– The investigation into the causes of the Adamuz train accident continues without resolving one of the main mysteries of the disaster: why the rail broke. Nine months after the accident on January 18, the sections of track that must undergo laboratory analysis have still not been examined, while hypotheses about the origin of the break continue to circulate and recriminations between the institutions involved intensify.
– The procedure highlights a paradox difficult to explain from the public’s perspective: while the accident continues to generate political debate and reports about its possible causes keep emerging, the evidence that could prove decisive in clarifying them has not yet been analyzed. Investigating a train accident of this magnitude requires preserving judicial guarantees and the independence of the bodies responsible for clarifying it, but it also demands that the physical evidence be examined with the utmost diligence.
– The legal process has also affected the timeline of the investigation. It wasn’t until July 20th that the judge of the Civil and Preliminary Investigation Section of the Montoro Court of First Instance, in charge of the case, authorized the transfer of several sections of the lane from the accident site for analysis. The laboratories will have six months to draw their conclusions from the date they received the samples.

ANDALUCÍA
Dealing with squatters– Vox promotes specialized legal assistance to Andalusian citizens affected by the illegal occupation of their homes: {Trans, summary}
– Andalucia’s Minister of Tourism, Justice, Deregulation, and Local Administration, Manuel Gavira (Vox) {pic}, has announced his department’s intention to establish an agreement with the Andalusian Council of Bar Associations. The primary objective is to provide specialized legal assistance to Andalusian citizens affected by the illegal occupation of their homes, a measure that seeks to offer immediate legal support.
– This initiative, unveiled after a meeting in Antequera with the Andalusian Council of Bar Associations, aims to ensure that property owners have access to professional legal advice from the outset. It focuses particularly on cases of squatting that “require urgent action.” Gavira emphasized that “those who suffer illegal occupation need the government to be on their side from the very beginning. We cannot abandon the property owner while those violating their property gain time.”
– The Ministry of Justice defends the “special relevance” of this proposal, which arises in a context where Andalusia registered 1,909 complaints of trespassing or squatting in properties during 2023, according to the most recent data from the Ministry of the Interior. This figure would place the region second in the country for the number of cases , surpassed only by Catalonia.
– According to Gavira, the measure represents a significant step forward in fulfilling point 57 of the governing agreement between the Andalusian PP party and Vox, which aims to “strengthen the protection of property owners against illegal occupation.” The regional minister was emphatic: “Agreements are meant to be kept. Private property must be respected and defended, and this government will stand with those who abide by the law.” Source, Spanish: https://www.malagahoy.es/andalucia/gavira-plantea-ofrecer-asistencia-letrada_0_2007859495.html
MALAGA PROVINCE
Demonstrations in support of Ceuta– The flags of Spain completely occupy the centre of Malaga, where 50,000+ people showed their support for the city of Ceuta; other cities across Andalusia draw huge crowds: {Trans, summary}
– The flags of Spain they filled from the Alameda to the Paseo del Parque. Thousands of Malaga residents, some 50,000 according to data from the National Police, responded on Wednesday afternoon to the call from the Malaga City Council for the concentration in support of Ceuta.
– Anyone walking through the main streets of the historic centre would say that Spain has won the World Cup again. Many tourists, stunned by the wave of people heading to City Hall, timidly ask the reason for such a high concentration of people. According to City Council estimates, between 120,000 and 140,000 people have attended to this concentration in support of the people of Ceuta. On the other hand, the National Police minimizes the number to 50,000 attendees.
– The rebukes to the central government are everywhere. Criticism of Sánchez has guided the main chants of the rally. “Pedro Sánchez, resignation”, were the words that were repeated the most this Wednesday afternoon in front of City Hall. General discontent is displayed with banners containing phrases such as “We are looking for a socialist with his own brain”.
– Not only in Malaga capital, but thousands of people have gathered throughout the Andalusian province to express their support for Ceuta. In Torremolinos, it is estimated that around 3,500 people attended which, as in many cities in Andalusia, have shown their rejection of the “abandonment of the autonomous city”. Antequera and Fuengirola two more municipalities that have joined the great demonstrations, along with about 10,000 people in Marbella, San Pedro Alcántara and Nueva Andalucía, according to data from the Local Police. The largest mobilization has been that of Marbella, with around 6,000 attendees, where the mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, has read a manifesto in support of the autonomous city.

Danish intelligence warns that Russia is preparing new acts of sabotage:
– Russia is “actively” preparing sabotage operations against Denmark , particularly against its defense industry, the Danish intelligence service PET told AFP on Thursday.
– “Russian intelligence services are actively preparing acts of sabotage targeting the defense industry in Denmark ,” the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) said in a statement sent to AFP. According to the organization, they are recruiting “ordinary Danes” on social media to take photographs that can be used to plan acts of sabotage.
– The warning came after EU countries summoned Russian envoys and discussed new sanctions following an incident involving an explosive-laden drone in Germany that the EU’s top diplomat said bore the hallmarks of “state-sponsored terrorism.”
– Back in 2024, the Danish Permanent Forum (PET) stated that the Russian threat against Denmark, a staunch ally of Ukraine, had intensified. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Denmark has provided Ukraine with at least €10 billion in military support and around €1 billion in civilian contributions, according to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In June, Copenhagen announced its thirtieth military aid package for Kyiv, valued at about 4.4 billion kroner (577 million euros), which will include ammunition, weapons, equipment and training for Ukrainian soldiers.
