Sánchez's tactic to cover up the invasion of Ceuta is the same one he used with Adamuz

This Wednesday marked two months since the start of the Moroccan migrant invasion of Ceuta on July 30.

Thousands of intruders who arrived during that invasion remain in Ceuta, taking advantage of the permissiveness and complicity of Pedro Sánchez’s government regarding an assault—one that we now know the National Intelligence Center (CNI) had warned about in the days prior, yet La Moncloa chose to ignore it. This occurred within the context of a policy of subservience toward Morocco initiated after Morocco’s espionage against Sánchez in 2021, which involved the extraction of vast amounts of data from his mobile phone—a matter on which the government has never been willing to provide explanations.

Reading many Spanish media outlets, it is hard to believe that this invasion began only two months ago and that its effects persist, significantly complicating life for Ceuta’s residents and causing many of them—especially the most vulnerable—to fear going out onto the streets. Ceuta has vanished from many front pages, as if it were no longer a matter of interest. The spotlight has shifted from the illegal camps set up by the Moroccan migrants who arrived during that invasion to the illegal encampment established a few days ago by the far-left at Madrid’s Puerta del Sol. One illegal encampment overshadows another, and both are, coincidentally, tolerated by the government.

Those who have made it this far might have expected me to outline the details of a master plan by Sánchez to distract public opinion. I am sorry to disappoint you. There is no master plan. Sánchez clings to power at the Moncloa Palace, lurching from one act of improvisation to the next; that is why I speak of tactics rather than strategy. This government, which remains in power despite having lost the parliamentary majority that secured Sánchez’s re-election, is content simply to muddle through day by day. Spanish socialism is in deep water due to corruption scandals and even mafia-like tactics stemming from the PSOE’s shadowy underbelly—specifically, colluding with drug traffickers to attack a judge. This is a matter of the utmost gravity, yet the news programs on Televisión Española—which is controlled by the government—have not devoted even ten seconds to it.

The tactic Sánchez is using to cover up the invasion of Ceuta is the same one he previously employed to cover up the Adamuz train crash, which left 46 people dead. That accident occurred on January 18 of this very year, yet it has already faded from the memories of many Spaniards, as if it had happened two decades ago. Sánchez staged a scandalous Socialist rally in Congress to cover it up and to evade responsibility for that accident. I explained back then what this tactic entails: a dive into the muck to hide his own filth by spreading it to everyone else, using the congressional podium to attack political rivals and media outlets critical of the government.

Unfortunately, Sánchez had some success in muddying the waters regarding the Adamuz accident. The matter has been all but forgotten by much of the media. In fact, the official primarily responsible for the accident—Socialist Transport Minister Óscar Puente—is a master of this kind of mudslinging. He employs this tactic daily, using his Twitter account to insult political rivals, journalists, and judges. The aim of this tactic is to mask the government's mismanagement with insults designed to demonize anyone who dares demand an explanation from the Socialists for their incompetence and negligence. It is a crude tactic, typical of dictatorships, and it essentially relies on treating the public like fools. It must be admitted that, in this regard, the PSOE clearly knows its most die-hard voters well—voters always ready to swallow even the party's most ridiculous slogans.
