Demanda por Ceuta
Vox lleva a Sánchez y Marlaska a los tribunales por la crisis de Ceuta
Anonymous
Spain's far-right Vox party filed a formal lawsuit against Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Interior Minister Fernando Marlaska over their handling of a massive migrant surge into Ceuta. El Correo Gallego reported that party leader Jorge Buxadé also named State Secretary for Security Aina Calvo in the complaint, escalating the party's attack on the government's border management.
Buxadé renewed calls to activate Article 102 of Spain's Constitution, a rare provision that allows prosecution of sitting government officials. El Periódico de Aragón noted the lawsuit marks Vox's latest effort to hold the government accountable for what the party views as a security failure at Spain's North African enclave.
Vox Targets Three Officials Over Ceuta Crisis
The complaint names Prime Minister Sánchez, Interior Minister Marlaska, and State Secretary Calvo as defendants. La Opinión de Murcia said the lawsuit centers on the government's response to the sudden arrival of thousands of migrants in Ceuta. Vox claims the officials failed in their duty to protect Spain's borders and maintain order.
Buxadé has made border security a centerpiece of Vox's political messaging. El Periódico Mediterráneo reported the lawsuit represents the party's most aggressive legal move yet against the government's immigration policies.
Article 102 Invoked in Bid for Government Prosecution
Vox renewed its call to activate Article 102 of the Spanish Constitution. El Correo Web explained this provision allows lawmakers to pursue legal action against serving government ministers. The measure is rarely used and requires broad parliamentary support to succeed against sitting officials.
The invocation signals Vox's frustration with standard judicial channels. La Opinión de A Coruña noted that the party views the Ceuta crisis as evidence of government incompetence warranting the extraordinary constitutional measure.
Ceuta Migrant Surge Becomes Political Flashpoint
The mass arrival of migrants in Ceuta has become a major political issue in Spain. El Día reported the incident reignited debate over border control and government competence. The crisis gave opposition parties ammunition to attack the Sánchez administration's handling of immigration.
Vox frames the lawsuit as defending Spain's sovereignty and public safety. Levante-EMV said the far-right party argues the government prioritized other political concerns over protecting Spanish territory, making the lawsuit part of its broader political strategy ahead of upcoming elections.
