The Prosecutor's Office will open an investigation into the dozens of deaths at the Melilla fence. The attorney general of the State, Dolores Delgado, has signed a decree this Tuesday in which she orders the coordinating prosecutor for foreigners, Beatriz Sánchez, to find out the "circumstances of the events that occurred last June 25 at the border of Melilla". "According to journalistic reports, a minimum of 23 people lost their lives in Moroccan territory and many others were injured", the statement made public by the public prosecutor's office notes. Delgado's decision is based on the "transcendence and seriousness of the facts, which could affect human rights and fundamental rights of individuals, as well as the uniqueness and complexity of the investigation," the Prosecutor's Office adds.

Melilla has experienced the fourth consecutive night of migratory pressure on its border perimeter, the first with the Spanish army deployed to reinforce surveillance and control, reports Efe. Unlike the last two nights, in which attempts to enter could be thwarted, this Thursday night part of those who have managed to approach the border perimeter at different points have been able to access the city. There is no official data on how many people have participated, but the Home Affairs Minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has mentioned that around thirty have succeeded. Marlaska has assured that all of them will be "located" and "returned" to Morocco.
