The social reaction was swift. Residents of Ceuta took to the streets to protest against Sánchez's government, demanding urgent measures to stop the crisis.
Both the local government and the citizens formally called for the declaration of a national emergency, along with a more forceful intervention that includes the deployment of military forces. However, the central socialist administration refused to move in that direction, deepening the discontent in the city.
The current scenario not only highlights a large-scale migration crisis but also reopens the political debate about the decisions made in the past and their consequences.
Abascal's declaration as “persona non grata,” in this context, is once again subject to scrutiny in light of a situation that reflects warnings that were ignored at the time.
