Over 50,000 protest in Madrid over Spain's handling of Cueta migrant crisis

Wait 5 sec.

Spain witnessed a large-scale protest as thousands rallied against the recent surge of migrants flooding into Ceuta. Demonstrators demanded the resignation of the Prime Minister and a plan for either repatriation or redistribution of the newcomers. Over seventy thousand migrants breached the Spanish border within just two days in July. The government blames human trafficking and misinformation for the perilous crossings, though Morocco refutes claims of managing this mass movement.
