As this is buring the holiday period, the PP has asked the Bureau to reconvene the Parliament . Something that is unlikely considering that the PSOE and Sumar have the majority in the governing body of the lower house.
The PP accuses the government “of disengaging from the crisis while enjoying its holiday, an attitude that is insulting to the Spanish. Pedro Sánchez remains in La Mareta as if nothing happened, when we are in one of the biggest security and immigration crises that have been experienced in recent years,” they say in a statement.
The commander of the Civil Guard Sergio Munguía announced on Thursday that one of the 80 bodies recovered off the coast of Ceuta has already been identified after the massive entry of migrants that occurred a week ago.
In an appearance to announce the opening of a facility in Cuerta to collect data to identify the deceased, the commander explained that a facilty had been made available “to family or friends of missing persons to be able to relate them to the deceased found on the coasts”, where all types of data could be collected,
For the time being, only one has been able to be definitively identified by DNA samples.
The left-wing “Sumar” coalition has submitted a non-binding motion to the Spanish Congress of Deputies, calling for a review of Morocco’s participation in hosting the 2030 World Cup, against the backdrop of what it described as “the serious events that took place at the Ceuta border”.
Three deputies from the United Left party which sits within the Sumar coalition, signed the motion alongside a fourth deputy from the parliamentary group, according to the Spanish newspaper “El Mundo”.
The coalition called on the Spanish government to send an official letter to the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), the Spanish Football Federation and the Portuguese government, demanding “a special review and assessment” of the current model for the joint organisation of the 2030 World Cup.
Hosting the tournament, the motion stressed, requires the deployment of public resources, government guarantees and extensive investment in infrastructure. It also affects the image of the host countries on the international stage. That, the text argued, means every party involved in the organisation must show “effective and continuous respect for human rights, international law, and the democratic principles that must govern the work of public authorities”.
Sumar’s motion echoes the position of the Portuguese “Livre” party, which sent a letter to the Portuguese government and the Portuguese Football Federation calling for a reconsideration of Morocco’s participation in organising the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal.
