00:00Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told Congress the government has nothing to hide
00:05over the Ceuta crisis, announcing he had ordered the publication of a full dossier of documents
00:10for public scrutiny.
00:12He also said there was no evidence Morocco orchestrated July's migrant rush into Ceuta
00:18after a police report highlighted multiple failings by Moroccan security forces.
00:39His speech follows a day of mass protests across Spain in mounting opposition and criticism
00:45over the government's handling of the crisis and Morocco's role in it.
00:49The opposition has consistently cast doubt on Morocco's role and accused Sánchez of
00:55being subservient to Rabat.
00:57Sánchez pushed back against suggestions that Spain should have acted more forcefully to
01:02remove migrants, stressing the government's legal obligations.
01:07He went on to defend the wider government response, telling Congress that the situation had been
01:11brought under control within days.
01:14Although most of the migrants who streamed into Ceuta have since returned to Morocco,
01:18thousands continued to roam the small city streets and sleep rough, increasing tensions
01:23among locals and humanitarian concerns.
