                    "Spain has seen no evidence \u201cwhatsoever\u201d that Morocco planned or facilitated a mass border breach into its north African territory of Ceuta, the Spanish prime minister, Pedro S\u00e1nchez, has told parliament.The address on Thursday followed the emergence of a police report, commissioned by a judge and widely quoted in the media, claiming Moroccan border forces had actively aided about 70,000 people to cross the border in late July.\u201cI \u200ccan assure you \u200cthat no institution \u2013 not the diplomatic service, nor the European Commission, \u200cnor any international body \u2013 has provided the Spanish government with any solid evidence that Morocco planned or carried out the incident. None whatsoever,\u201d S\u00e1nchez told parliament.Speaking the morning after about 50,000 people marched in Madrid to protest his handling of the Ceuta crisis, the socialist prime minister also denied the government had received any warning of the mass breach, saying no reports to authorities had anticipated \u201cthe scale or probability of what eventually happened\u201d.A protest against the Spanish government\u2019s handling of the recent border breach at Ceuta. Photograph: Francesco Militello Mirto/NurPhoto/ShutterstockS\u00e1nchez has repeatedly defended Morocco during the crisis, highlighting Rabat\u2019s cooperation in returning most of the migrants in the days after the surge.But he said on Thursday that Spain had summoned Morocco\u2019s ambassador on 21 August because of \u201cunacceptable statements\u201d made by two ministers over Ceuta and Melilla, another Spanish north African territory. Last month, Morocco\u2019s justice minister, Abdellatif Ouahbi, publicly reiterated Rabat\u2019s sovereignty claims over the cities.S\u00e1nchez said he had \u201cfor now\u201d ruled out Moroccan government involvement but conceded that Moroccan forces had allowed crossings to occur during a key 10-hour period on 30 July.Many of those who crossed said in interviews they had been actively encouraged to do so. Moroccan officials have denied enabling the crossing.Alberto N\u00fa\u00f1ez Feij\u00f3o, the leader of the conservative People\u2019s party, called on S\u00e1nchez to resign for his \u201cincompetence and complicity\u201d.In response to S\u00e1nchez summoning the Moroccan ambassador to discuss the crisis, Santiago Abascal, the leader of the far-right Vox party, said: \u201cMorocco doesn\u2019t need an ambassador in Spain \u2013 you are its ambassador.\u201dPeople who entered Ceuta from Morocco in late July on hunger strike last month to demand asylum.  Photograph: Laura Rincon/EPAAs many as 141 people are thought to have died trying to enter Ceuta at the end of July. The influx unleashed a political crisis, a humanitarian emergency and reignited tensions within the EU over immigration.On Thursday, S\u00e1nchez appealed for European solidarity over the crisis. He did not single out any countries by name but, in a pointed passage apparently aimed at Italy and Denmark, the two countries that had led public criticism of Spain, said the principle of solidarity should apply to Ceuta as much as it applies to Greenland and Lampedusa.Although 90% of the people had returned to Morocco within 24 hours, several thousand, including at least 500 minors, are thought to remain, either living on the street or in makeshift shelters.Amid calls from Vox to return them to Morocco, S\u00e1nchez reminded parliament that under Spanish, European and international law, migrants had a right to be treated as individuals. \u201cYou can\u2019t just grab someone by the arm and drag them across the frontier as though they were a sack of dirt,\u201d he told MPs.In reference to the hundreds of destitute minors, Aina Vidal of the leftwing group Sumar, said: \u201cThey\u2019re children, not invaders, not soldiers. They didn\u2019t come carrying bombs, they arrived wearing water wings, in tears.\u201dIt seems likely the government will invest in facilities in Ceuta to accommodate the remaining migrants rather than risk the political backlash both in Spain and across Europe were they to bring them to the mainland.There is also evidence that, faced with hunger as well as hostility from many local people, some migrants have already begun going back to Morocco.However, as S\u00e1nchez told parliament, the per capita income of Ceuta is eight times that of Morocco and \u201ceven if we build a wall 100 metres high there will still be people prepared to throw themselves into the sea to get across\u201d.\u201cWe will not stop working until Ceuta emerges from this difficult situation: stronger, more prosperous, and more integrated with the rest of Spain and the EU,\u201d he added.Additional reporting by Jakub Krupa"
