With Spain still reeling from the extraordinary scenes in Ceuta, the country’s Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has decamped to La Mareta, the government’s palatial retreat on Lanzarote. Clinging to power has become another of Sánchez’s moral dutiesWhile much of Europe is trying to tighten its borders, Spain’s amnesty has rewarded those who arrived and remained without legal status. On migration, Sánchez has put himself sharply at odds with many European governments. Once Sánchez has declared a policy morally right, it seems, opponents cease to be people worth listening to and become obstacles to be circumvented. Keeping the right out of office becomes a higher cause; clinging to power, another of Sánchez’s moral duties.
