MadridThe President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, sent a letter this Saturday to European institutions to complain about the attitude of some countries towards the migratory crisis in Ceuta. In the letter, to which ARA has had access, the head of the central executive describes the reaction of some member states to the entry of thousands of migrants into the autonomous city as "selfish", which, for the moment, has left more than 60 dead, according to data from the Ministry of the Interior. Sánchez calls for a meeting of the Interior Ministers.

The night in Ceuta has passed normally, according to reports from the Ministry of the Interior. It is planned that the head of this department, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, will appear this Saturday morning to report on the situation in Ceuta. As explained by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the entries have been completely stopped and departures towards Morocco have continued. In addition, the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, is traveling this Saturday to Ceuta, where he will also appear with the president of the autonomous city.
