"This is not Morocco, this is Spain", the first phrase of Santiago Abascal during the rally that took place this Monday in Ceuta already anticipated the harshness of his speech. For about half an hour, the leader of Vox has attacked from the room of a hotel in the Ciudad Atónoma the national government and the local government of Juan Jesús Vivas, who has been governing Ceuta for 23 years and may lose if the polls are confirmed and Vox, under the leadership of Juan Sergio Redondo, wins the elections.

"Since we arrived in Ceuta I had the feeling of not being in Ceuta, it seemed that I was in Beirut," he said at the beginning of his speech. "I have seen Ceuta very changed in four years, I have said that it looked like Beirut, but it seemed Hernani, because I have lived this, because I know what people's fear is, and the Vivas regime is a society without freedom, with fear. We have come to return freedom to the Ceutians," he said to the applause of a representation of about 200 Ceutians.

"Vivas is Sanchez's man in Ceuta," he said to insist that "he is surrendered to the Moroccanization of Ceuta." Because for Abascal the problem is not "of religions" but of "territorial and national identity." One of the proposals of the formation in Ceuta is to secure the border by lengthening the wall, although Abascal has affirmed that "the best wall is to stop the call effect, not to give aid to those who come illegally and incorporate our army to the defense of land borders," he said. "The illegals to their country and the narcos: lead or jail," he has settled.

"Ceuta is a small example of what the Spanish political model is, of what bipartisanship has brought to Spain: both sharing power," he reflected to go on to attack national policies. He has asked that "they let us educate our children" and has assured that "the cinema at two euros, the interrail financed is vote buying", as what is happening in Melilla. "We want the power to return freedom to the Spaniards and for us to return to being the masters of our homeland, of our sovereignty and of our freedom," he settled between the closed ovation of the public, which then ran to get a selfie.

35% of votes

Vox obtained in Ceuta 35% of the votes in the previous elections, rising with six deputies, who then remained in four after the resignation of two due to the racist tone of the formation. Abascal has affirmed that they do not need an absolute majority, only to win, because if Feijóo fulfills his will to govern the most voted list "we would get it."

An hour before the rally, numerous agents of the National Police were deployed in the vicinity of the Hotel Ulises de Ceuta since early afternoon. On a mild day, at 18 degrees, and in which the threat of rain materialized in just a few drops, the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, arrived in the Autonomous City to offer a rally and support his candidate, Juan Sergio Redondo. Any effort is little, because the polls give possibilities of victory to the formation. Some polls that, if materialized, would be the first option of Vox's government in a community and the fall of the PP, which has been in power for 21 years under the leadership of Juan Jesús Vivas, who an hour before Abascal offered a rally at the Parador with the support of Cuca Gamarra.

But the followers of Vox congregated in the Ulysses, in a room arranged for the occasion with 160 chairs, the first with the sign of "reserved" for several families There were all kinds of public: from a man with a heavy look in years and shirt that put 'Jamones' instead of Ramones to voters in suits with different merchandising of the national flag. All had in their chair – which were occupied by yodas and in fifty people followed the act standing – right to the flag of Vox and that of Spain to wave in the peak moments of the rally, as each of the times that Redondo spoke of the "Moroccan process" of Ceuta, which is the backbone of his campaign.

The wait was enlivened with a musical thread of just two songs: the empire counterattacks of the Niquis and Beleforón de Taburete sounded. But the audience was waiting for their candidates, so ten minutes before the arrival they switched to an instrumental thread with epic touches. The volume went up four minutes after eight o'clock in the afternoon and all the audience stood, mobile in hand, to stand to receive Abascal and Redondo between applause and shouts of 'President, president'. A lady – fuchsia shirt and white jeans, ran from her place on the side to get the embrace of the leader of Vox. It's not every day that Santiago Abascal has one in his autonomous city. He returned smiling to his place and kept the applause.

The rally began with Carlos Verdejo, spokesman for Vox in the Assembly, and began with the tone against Morocco that has characterized the legislature and has caused so many controversies: "How well surrounded by good people: I do not see any Fatima," he said to applause. "Remember that four years ago they demonized us, they said everything and we went from 0 to six and the PP went from 13 to nine," he analyzed before Redondo told his main lines.

Juan Sergio Redondo took the stage with papers that he read with pauses for applause. "Today the decent Ceuta congregates here, the one that gets up early, works, complies with the law and pays its taxes, wants security, progress, economic development and defends our sovereignty and Spanish identity," he began drawing applause from the audience. He then thanked the presence of Abascal, who was declared persona non grata in Ceuta in 2021 by "some who have been bossing political power for many years. Indecent Ceuta led by Moroccans, Socialists, Popular Party... that they have arrogated representation, that they have believed they have the right to decide who is welcome and who is not in our city," he described.

Next, Redondo has asked for the vote to carry out a task that they do not consider "impossible". "The pressure exerted by Morocco has put Spanish and even the survival of Ceuta as an indissoluble element of our homeland on the ropes," he said. "From Vox in these four years we have proposed an amendment to the entire traitor government of Juan Vivas," he said to list the threats of Ceuta: "Moroccanization, insecurity and illegal immigration" that "threaten the present and future of Ceuta.
