09.09.2026The Day CNI Warnings on Ceuta Came to Light

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.

02:13PISA's Historic Plunge

The Spanish press is dominated by the fallout from Spain's worst-ever PISA results, with RTVE, Público, El País, and La Vanguardia highlighting the historic decline in math, reading, and science. Concurrently, the Ceuta crisis continues to generate headlines, focusing on the government's decision to declassify documents while hiding key details (El Periódico), the PP's alignment with Vox (infoLibre), and the overwhelming pressure on local health services (20minutos).

The Spanish press is dominated by the Supreme Court's urgent decision on whether 2.3 million descendants of exiles can vote in upcoming elections, a move that has inflated the CERA census by 20% (El Mundo, La Razón, El País, El Español). Concurrently, the government's declassification of Ceuta reports without evidence against Morocco and the resulting judicial tensions are prominent (La Vanguardia, El Español).

09:58Feijóo's Ceuta Gambit

The Spanish press is dominated by the political fallout from the Ceuta crisis, with opposition leader Feijóo accusing Prime Minister Sánchez of being 'not a free president' and of 'disprotecting' Spain, while Sánchez defends his government and vows to win again at the polls. The government has released 40 documents on the migrant entry, but the crisis continues to generate intense political confrontation.

12:08Ceuta Clash and Census Suspension

The Spanish press is dominated by the political clash over Ceuta, with Feijóo accusing Sánchez of being 'not a free president' and of manipulating the electoral census via the 'ley de nietos', while Sánchez defends his handling of the crisis and rejects blackmail. The Supreme Court's suspension of the census change adds a judicial dimension, with right-leaning outlets framing it as benefiting the PSOE.

14:05Sánchez's Ceuta Standoff

The Spanish press is dominated by Prime Minister Sánchez's defense of his handling of the Ceuta migrant crisis, as he rejects opposition accusations and insists the state must prepare better. He also confirms the King will visit Ceuta, and clashes with Feijóo over the 'ley de nietos' and electoral census, with Sánchez challenging him to elections. The EU's proposal to restrict second-home purchases in stressed areas also gains attention.

17:17Sanchez Insists Migrants Are Not Invaders

The newspapers keep Prime Minister Sánchez's handling of Ceuta as the central story (RTVE, El País, El Español, La Vanguardia, 20minutos, Libertad Digital). Sánchez is quoted describing the arrivals as a "structural reality" and insisting "they are not invaders" but people seeking a better life, while conceding the massive arrival was not foreseen and the state "must prepare better". The new development is Brussels: La Vanguardia reports the Commission has unblocked 114 million euros for Ceuta and agreed to reinforce Frontex support. In parallel, El País and El Plural focus on the parliamentary clash, with Sánchez accusing the right of questioning democracy over opposition to the 'ley de nietos' and trading an election challenge with Feijóo.

17:46CNI's Ceuta Warnings Declassified

The newspapers focus on the declassified CNI reports on the Ceuta entry (El Mundo, La Razón, 20minutos, La Vanguardia, El Periódico, El Confidencial, El Español, Público). The reports are presented as showing two warnings: one on 29 July to both Moncloa and Moroccan intelligence about calls for a mass assault coinciding with the Throne Festival, citing groups with up to 180,000 followers, and another the day before at 13:52 to the Government delegate in Ceuta about a call for assault "by fence and sea". Several outlets stress the framing that the CNI did warn, and that in the notice to Rabat it requested "collaboration".

19:09Ceuta Assault Was Flagged in Advance

The press continues to treat the declassified intelligence warnings before the Ceuta entry as the main story (El Mundo, La Vanguardia, 20minutos, El Periódico, El Español, El Confidencial, Público, La Razón, Libertad Digital, RTVE, El País, El Plural). Attention moves from the existence of the warnings to their wording and addressees: the CNI's notice the day before, at 13:52, to the Government, Police, Guardia Civil and Rabat about an attempted entry "by swimming and jumping the fence tomorrow", and the 29 July notice about calls for an assault in groups with up to 180,000 followers, with several papers underlining that there was time to stop it. New elements reported are a military intelligence alert of a "massive" entry during the 30th and an Armed Forces note presenting a Supreme Court immigration ruling as a "decisive limitation" for police in Ceuta. Prime Minister Sánchez is quoted insisting the massive arrival "was not foreseen" but acknowledging the state "must prepare better".

The newspapers keep the declassified CNI warnings ahead of the Ceuta entry as the main story (El Mundo, La Vanguardia, El Periódico, El Confidencial, El Español, Público, La Razón, Libertad Digital, RTVE, 20minutos). Attention stays on the wording and recipients rather than new facts: a 29 July notice to the Government and Morocco about social-media calls for an assault "by fence and sea", citing groups with 180,000 followers, and a notice the day before to the Government delegation, Police, Guardia Civil and Rabat about attempted entries "by swimming and jumping the fence tomorrow". Several outlets underline the implication that there was time to stop it.
