Feijóo exige el confinamiento de Ceuta ante riesgos sanitarios y critica al Gobierno

Spain's opposition leader Alberto Feijóo is demanding Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez order a lockdown in the city of Ceuta, citing health risks from scabies and tuberculosis among migrant children. La Opinión de Murcia reports Feijóo accuses the government of manufacturing a conflict with regional authorities over the children to distract from its own failures.
Feijóo said the PP will not fall into what he calls a political trap. The dispute centers on Ceuta's handling of migrant minors and the health concerns being raised at the border city.
The PP leader is escalating pressure on Sánchez to declare a formal lockdown in Ceuta due to reported scabies and tuberculosis cases. La Opinión de Murcia reports Feijóo framed this as a public health emergency requiring immediate federal action, not local band-aid solutions.
Feijóo's call shifts responsibility to Madrid's doorstep. He is forcing Sánchez to either accept the lockdown request or explain why infectious disease risks don't warrant shutdown measures.
Feijóo claims Sánchez is deliberately stoking a 'war' between Madrid and regional governments over migrant children. El Correo Gallego says the opposition leader frames this as a distraction from the government's incompetence on broader issues.
The PP leader is calling the situation a setup. He argues the government wants regions to take the fall for a crisis it created, while Madrid avoids accountability.
Feijóo declared publicly that his party will not fall into what he sees as a political snare. El Diario reports the PP leader said the opposition understands the real issue: Madrid's failure to manage the migrant crisis responsibly.
The PP is walking a narrow line. It opposes the lockdown demand while acknowledging the health concerns are real. Feijóo's message: solving the crisis requires federal leadership, not blaming regions.
The border city remains a flashpoint in Spain's broader migrant debate. Diario de Ibiza reports health officials have documented cases of scabies and tuberculosis among the migrant population, creating genuine public health concerns.
Both sides—government and opposition—are now locked in a blame game. The question facing Sánchez is whether to order the lockdown Feijóo demands, giving him a political win, or refuse and risk looking indifferent to disease risks.
