Spanish PM Sánchez publicly criticizes King Felipe over Ceuta migrant crisis response

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has unusually criticized King Felipe VI for his absence during the migrant surge in Ceuta, contrasting his government's hands-on response with the monarch's lack of engagement. This marks a rare public rift between the head of government and the head of state, potentially straining Spain's constitutional monarchy. The incident signals political tension within Spain's leadership, though its broader implications for policy or markets remain limited.
