19.08.2026The day Feijóo took the government to the Supreme Court over Ceuta

The Ceuta migrant crisis dominated editorial priorities for the sixth consecutive day. The government's plan to transfer 500 unaccompanied migrant girls to the peninsula, announced in the morning, drew immediate opposition from PP and Vox, who announced a Senate censure of five ministers. By afternoon, PP leader Feijóo escalated the conflict by announcing a Supreme Court appeal over ministerial absences in the Senate and reiterating his pledge to expel all undocumented migrants, including minors, despite legal constraints. The government defended the transfer as protective, while Ceuta's president Vivas criticized the lack of support. Secondary stories included a series of earthquakes in Granada, the death of magician Juan Tamariz, and a triple murder in Isla Cristina.
