Sánchez Defends Morocco Over 10-Hour Ceuta Border Breakdown

Summary
Pedro Sánchez said no evidence has been given to his government showing Moroccan authorities planned or orchestrated the Ceuta crisis.
A 10-hour collapse in Moroccan border controls remains the key unresolved episode, with Sánchez saying it is still unclear whether it reflected inability to act or a failure to act.
Morocco's cooperation before and after that window worked well, he said, helping prevent thousands of additional illegal crossings.
The remarks seek to contain fallout from a leaked report alleging Moroccan passivity during the influx and follow Sánchez's order to publish the full Ceuta dossier.
