Overview
- The prime minister has summoned the Consejo de Seguridad Nacional for Tuesday to review the situation in Ceuta with ministers, military chiefs and intelligence leaders.
- The government has appointed Ángel Víctor Torres as a central coordinator or 'mando único' to lead operations and streamline decision making on the ground.
- Local authorities report thousands from the late‑July surge remain in Ceuta and services are strained while health teams have detected cases of scabies, tuberculosis and widespread gastroenteritis and the Health Ministry has called an urgent commission on vaccines.
- The opposition, led by the Partido Popular, is demanding 'triple turno' Extranjería teams to speed identification and repatriation and rejects moving migrants to mainland regions, arguing the government delayed its response and must act faster.
- Coverage highlights institutional friction that could shape the fallout: prior intelligence notes from the CNI and armed forces are under scrutiny, an early communications figure was removed after releasing large crossing counts, and the episode risks broader strain on Spain‑Morocco cooperation and parliamentary probes.
