Political tensions have risen in Spain following statements by Ester Muñoz, spokesperson for the Popular Party group in Congress, who questioned whether the Spanish government's consistent backing of Morocco's actions during the Ceuta crisis is linked to potential information obtained from the alleged hacking of government mobile phones.
Simultaneously, Minister of the Interior Fernando Grande-Marlaska defended Spain's close collaboration with Morocco and stated that approximately 5,000 migrants, including 1,500 minors, remain in Ceuta following the mass arrivals on July 30 and 31. This official figure is disputed by the opposition parties PP and Vox, who claim the actual number is significantly higher at 20,000.
Additionally, Grande-Marlaska received backing from the broader government regarding his assertion that the National Intelligence Center (CNI) provided no prior warnings about the Ceuta crisis, contrasting with earlier statements from Defense Minister Margarita Robles.
