Pressed Sánchez takes the podium, but survives ‘here and now’

Pedro Sánchez took the podium in Spain’s parliament on Thursday under pressure over the migrant flow to Ceuta.

He made two points that, “here and now,” were enough to secure his political survival and avoid a no-confidence vote.

The prime minister faced criticism from both outside and inside his political camp. Opposition parties accused Sánchez of betrayal, while members of his own side said the government’s policy toward Morocco had failed in its handling of the Ceuta migrant flow.

For now, however, Sánchez remains in office.
