The repercussions of the migrant influx in Ceuta demonstrate that extreme and populist positions are now commonplace.

Thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, resulting in a humanitarian crisis characterized by deaths and a significant population remaining in the city. Estimates regarding the number of individuals still present in Ceuta vary between 2,500 and 5,000, with those remaining currently living on the streets and relying on local charity and citizen support.

The event has sparked political debate regarding the Spanish government's migration policies. While some critics have attributed the crisis to the perceived permissive stance of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, others characterize the situation as a reflection of the increasing prevalence of extreme and populist political rhetoric surrounding migration issues.
