Madrid protests intensify for early polls
Thousands of people gathered in Madrid to protest what they described as the Spanish government's failure to handle the influx of over 70,000 migrants to the occupied city of Ceuta at the end of July. The protesters called for early elections and the repatriation of the migrants who entered the city. They emphasized that the government had failed to manage the crisis, which drained the city's resources and led to rising political tensions. Estimates of the number of participants varied widely, ranging from 20,000 to 180,000. The organizing platform called for the prosecution of Prime Minister Sánchez on charges of "treason," while the Popular Party and Vox demanded swiftly enacted measures to return the migrants. This comes amid heightened political tensions, with the government planning to accelerate the deportation processes.
