La crisi migratoria di Ceuta sta mettendo Pedro Sánchez sotto forte pressione politica: il premier spagnolo è criticato da opposizione, alleati e opinione pubblica per la gestione dell'emergenza e per averne sottovalutato la portata. Oltre 70.000 persone sono entrate irregolarmente nell'exclave tra il 30 e il 31 luglio. La maggior parte è rientrata nel giro di 24 ore (82 persone sono morte nel tentativo di raggiungere Ceuta a nuoto). Più di 5.000 migranti sono però ancora presenti nel territorio, tra cui molti minori non accompagnati, costretti a vivere per strada mentre i centri di accoglienza sono al collasso e la tensione in città resta alta. Al centro delle polemiche c'è soprattutto l'insistenza di Sánchez nel negare un possibile coinvolgimento del Marocco, ritenuto invece molto probabile dalla maggior parte degli analisti. A rafforzare questa ipotesi c'è un rapporto della polizia spagnola che segnala diversi agenti marocchini, ripresi da foto e video mentre indirizzavano il flusso di migranti verso il confine. L'opposizione è arrivata a insinuare che Sánchez possa essere ricattato dal governo marocchino #Migrazione #Ceuta #PoliticaSpagnola

🟡 Bonjour @CNEWS @ChristineKelly Auriez-vous invité de la même manière un auteur venu expliquer que Jérusalem aurait été "inventée" et que les origines du judaïsme auraient été réécrites ? Odon Lafontaine vient défendre sur votre antenne un ouvrage qui remet radicalement en cause les origines mêmes de l’islam, jusqu’à soutenir que La Mecque aurait été construite dans le récit religieux pour donner d’autres origines à cette religion. Beaucoup de musulmans vont vivre ces propos comme une attaque très profonde contre leur foi, car La Mecque, la Kaaba et le pèlerinage occupent une place centrale dans l’islam et dans la croyance de près de deux milliards de fidèles. Pourquoi offrir une telle tribune à des affirmations aussi explosives, sans contradiction à la hauteur ? Vous cherchez quoi exactement ? À alimenter encore davantage les tensions, la haine et les fractures entre les communautés ? @Arcom_fr, face à des séquences aussi sensibles et susceptibles d’attiser les tensions religieuses, il est légitime de vous demander d’examiner sérieusement les conditions dans lesquelles ces propos sont diffusés. Là, on atteint un niveau particulièrement préoccupant. #Islam #LibertéDexpression #TensionsReligieuses

L'obiettivo è arrivare a governare con la paura che non è mai una buona consigliera. #GuerraIbrida #StrategiaDellaTensione #PoliticaEuropea
