Trump accuses Spain of "not having done anything" when thousands of migrants "flooded" Ceuta

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has accused Spain of “not having done anything” regarding its immigration policy after the crisis that broke out in Ceuta in July, when the autonomous city suffered the arrival of more than 80,000 people swimming. According to the top American leader, tens of thousands of migrants “swooped in and flooded the country” from Morocco.

This is how Trump explained it in a press conference from the White House, stating that “Spain has done nothing” about it. Some statements that were accompanied by his defense of the restrictive policy on immigration matters.

According to the president, the mobilizations of students and unions are, in reality, a problem caused by migrants. “They send them, they enter, they come from all over the world, from countries that have many, many problems. Europe has to change the way it does things,” he said.

Milei accuses the Government of “encouraging” the invasion

Hours later, the Argentine president, Javier Milei, assured that what is happening in Ceuta is “emblematic of the actions of the left”, accusing the socialist government of Pedro Sánchez of promoting the “invasion” for electoral interests.

“The socialists prefer to work in hell rather than serve in heaven and they are capable of transforming any heaven into hell in order to achieve this. That is why they encourage the invasion that we see in Ceuta. Each immigrant is a vote and if the price is the total destruction of the country, they are more than willing to pay it,” he stated this Wednesday at an informative breakfast in Madrid.

In his speech, Milei pointed out that the massive entry of migrants from North Africa “was not an accident” or “a coincidence”, “and the consequences are already being experienced as it could not be otherwise.”

“The streets have become more unsafe, especially for women who can no longer even go out for a walk alone at night in many neighborhoods of the main cities,” he added.

Albares asks to “leave Spain alone” during the elections

After the serious accusations leveled against the Executive, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, has asked to “leave Spain alone” during the electoral period, denouncing the fact that the opposition is proceeding to “cheer” those who try to intervene in the November 29 elections.

“It is evident that there are external forces that are trying to divide us Spaniards and Europeans,” the minister declared this morning in an interview for TVE. In it, Albares has highlighted the existence in recent years of “interference and interference in all electoral processes”, and has stressed that “it is not people external to the European Union and Spain who are going to watch over and who are going to give advice for the well-being of Europeans and Spaniards.”
