Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez refused to enter the 'realm of speculations' over possible foreign involvement in the mass migration surge into Ceuta, speaking in Congress in Madrid on Thursday.

"We're talking about the origin, the cause, and the actors behind what happened on July 30 and 31. It points to Morocco, it also points to the United States, and it also points to Israel. I do not want to enter the realm of speculations; it is not my duty. I do not think it is appropriate. My duty, my obligation, and my responsibility is to act on facts and certain data, and I have shared them with all of you. You may consider that it is insufficient, that there are still things to clarify, and that there are indications we need to clear up. I share this with you. Look, there has been recently, on August 5, apparently, a hybrid attack, according to German authorities, in Germany perpetrated by Russia. Russia has denied it, but in any case, it has taken weeks to be able to clarify this event that Germany has suffered. Therefore, let's allow the state security forces and bodies to do their work. We are committed to absolute transparency, convinced that we want to know the reality and the truth, among other things because we don't want it to happen again."
