• Pedro Sanchez recognized the attack on territorial integrity, raising the expectation of strong state action.
• The delay and lack of response from the government reflect opacity and institutional abandonment.
• Margarita Robles assumes Rabat's responsibility in the use of migratory pressure.
• Questions to the government's handling are centered on the origin of the massive influx of immigrants and the inadequacy of the Civil Guard's device.
• There are currently still 8,000 migrants in Ceuta and the police are overwhelmed to identify them.
• The government announces economic support plans and the shipment of 45,000 vaccines to address the situation in Ceuta.
• The perception of an inhibited State is the consequence of an overwhelmed Government clinging to a policy of appeasement with Morocco.

Conclusion: The crisis in Ceuta has revealed an institutional neglect and opacity by the Spanish ruling and a reluctance to hold Morocco accountable. The result is a security and public health crisis fueled by a policy of appeasement that has failed to maintain Spanish territorial integrity.
