The European Parliament will debate the situation in Ceuta next Tuesday in Strasbourg, in what is expected to be a heated political confrontation, following a decision by the Parliament’s political group leaders in Brussels on Wednesday.
The centre-right European People’s Party (EPP) and the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) also pushed to add a resolution to be voted on by lawmakers after the debate, in a move widely seen as an attempt to attack the Spanish government led by Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
