King Felipe VI Holds Three-Hour Meeting With Sánchez Ahead of New Security Council Session on Ceuta

King Felipe VI and PM Pedro Sánchez meet for three hours at Zarzuela Palace, a notable departure after the government excluded the King from the National Security Council session convened Aug 24 — nearly a month after the mass crossing — to address the Ceuta emergency. The meeting precedes a fresh National Security Council session and comes as opposition parties accuse Sánchez of downplaying Rabat's role in the crisis ahead of his Sept 3 Congress appearance.
