Vox Party Calls for Military Deployment to Secure Ceuta and Melilla Borders

"The borders of Ceuta and Melilla are vulnerable when we renounce the use of our army to defend them," Abascal said on Telecinco, referring to the massive entry of some 15,000 Moroccan migrants, mostly minors, into Ceuta in May last year, causing an unprecedented migration crisis.

Abascal stressed the urgency of strengthening security at the borders of Ceuta and Melilla with Morocco "to prevent new migrant invasions" and so that the inhabitants of the two autonomous cities no longer live "in permanent insecurity and anguish," reports Ceuta al dia. "We condemn our own rulers more than Morocco," said the Vox president.

Addressing the burning issue of the espionage of the phones of Pedro Sanchez and Margarita Robles, the Minister of Defense, of which Morocco is suspected to be the author, Abascal indicated that if this hypothesis were confirmed, it would provide proof that the Spanish government has "absolutely nothing gained" after having "given everything" to Morocco, an allusion to the change of position on the Sahara.

For the leader of the far-right formation, "it is very difficult to have a good neighborly relationship with a country that could be behind the espionage and that constantly blackmails you by launching waves of illegal immigration."
