The leader of the far-right Vox, Santiago Abascal, has once again turned the migratory crisis in Ceuta into a personal offensive against Pedro Sánchez this Wednesday. The far-right leader has called the President of the Government "the most miserable ruler" in all of Spain's history.

"He uses the State exclusively to protect himself. We have not had a more miserable ruler in history. In all our History," Abascal wrote on his 'X' social media account.

The message stems from information published by 'ABC' that includes a complaint from Jupol. The police union assures that the first riot police sent as reinforcement to Ceuta were assigned to escort Sánchez during his visit to the autonomous city. Abascal has taken this accusation as valid to argue that the president uses public resources for his own benefit.

The new attack comes after the president of Vox accused the Government of committing a "crime of treason" and of remaining "submissive to the Moroccan regime." During his visit to Ceuta, he also called for permanently militarizing the border, expelling migrants, and suspending the association agreement between the European Union and Morocco.

The latest disqualification takes Abascal's discourse even further. The far-right leader presents a democratically elected president as a worse ruler than any figure in Spanish history, including the dictator Francisco Franco or Fernando VII, known as the 'felon king'.

Migrant minors, new target of Vox

Vox has accompanied its attacks against Sánchez with a direct campaign against the migrant minors remaining in Ceuta. The party demands the deportation of those it calls "false menas" and sending the rest to their families, while Abascal demands that "not a single euro from Spaniards" be allocated to their care.

The autonomous city currently cares for around 1,100 migrant minors and its reception resources are overwhelmed. The Government has announced an extraordinary allocation of 25 million euros and is working on transfers to other communities, after hundreds of children and adolescents came under Ceuta's guardianship following last week's massive entry.

The communities in which Vox is part of the Government have already announced that they will try to prevent these transfers. Their leaders in Andalusia and Castilla y León have promised to use the political and legal resources at their disposal, a position from which even the national leadership of the PP has distanced itself by asking for compliance with the law.

Ceuta demands resources and places while completing the identification of the minors and trying to get them out of improvised warehouses and off the streets. The far-right Vox has responded by turning these children into the latest front of its campaign against Pedro Sánchez.
