On 2026-09-04, the Ceuta crisis continued to dominate Spanish media, with a focus on Prime Minister Sánchez's growing isolation. The morning saw reports that Sánchez had discussed the risk of further assaults in a Security Council meeting on August 25, contradicting his earlier claims of no prior warning. The Audiencia Nacional's investigation into the crisis gained momentum, with Ceuta's city government joining as an accusation, frustrating government attempts to halt the probe. The PP accused Sánchez of attacking the police and judiciary, alleging subservience to Morocco. Meanwhile, a socialist deputy in Ceuta refused to send his daughter to school due to security concerns, and migrant testimonies contradicted the official narrative. By evening, Sánchez announced he would urge the EU to tighten border controls, but the day's headlines underscored his political isolation.
