Welcome to Wednesday! As we reach the midweek mark, we continue our daily summaries, bringing you the most significant news of the day so you won't miss a thing. Let's dive into today's highlights!
1. Moroccan Agents 'Guided' Migrant Influx
There has been a tumultuous day in the news surrounding the Ceuta crisis. A report from the National Center for Immigration and Borders (CENIF) of the National Police has indicated the involvement of Moroccan security forces in the massive influx of migrants that occurred last July in the autonomous city. According to this report, their involvement had "different objectives than migration." The report's contents came to light shortly after the Director General of the Police, Francisco Pardo, assured Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska that there was no report attributing to Morocco the planning or execution of the mass entry. For an in-depth look at the report, our colleague Pilar Araque Conde breaks it down in her article here.
2. Judge Calls for Consolidated Case in 'Residences' Scandal
Recent developments in the 'residences' case, which involves the Madrid Executive led by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, have emerged as a judge has requested that all judicial cases be addressed through a consolidated case rather than individually. The magistrate argues that it must be clarified whether the orders to refrain from transferring COVID-19 patients from residences to hospitals created a "discriminatory framework affecting multiple residents." Thus, she defends that the victims of the so-called 'protocols of shame' should not begin with a "fragmented assessment," given the common element among them—Ayuso's government's directives.
