The first post-summer control session pitted Feijóo against Sánchez over Ceuta, with Feijóo charging he had left Spain unprotected and was 'not a free president' — 'if Morocco sings, you leave' — and Sánchez answering he accepts blackmail from no country, 'a dog but without master,' while calling arrivals a structural reality, 'not invaders.'
The government's declassification of some 40 reports then dominated coverage: the CNI had warned on 29 July and again the day before at 13:52 of calls for an assault by fence and sea in groups with 180,000 followers, informing Moncloa, police, Guardia Civil and Rabat. The PP accused the executive of lying from the start.
The Supreme Court's freeze on voting by 'ley de nietos' beneficiaries, Spain's historic PISA low and Brussels' release of €114m for Ceuta framed the clash.
