The Madrid city council has accused the national government of “boycotting” a planned rally in support of Ceuta, despite the government confirming the event will be allowed to proceed. The dispute centers around the jurisdiction of event organization, with the government delegation stating the city council doesn't hold the right to authorize gatherings. However, the government will provide institutional coverage for the rally, ensuring its security and management. Madrid officials claim this limited support amounts to obstruction. The government maintains there is no outright ban on the demonstration, framing their role as logistical rather than authoritative. This disagreement highlights ongoing tensions between the central government and Madrid’s regional leadership. The rally is expected to draw significant attention to the situation in Ceuta.
