PP, Vox and PSOE block Alvise Pérez's bid to suspend asylum in Ceuta

Alvise Pérez signed an amendment alongside 86 other MEPs to suspend asylum in Ceuta, which PP, Vox and PSOE rejected in Strasbourg. The move leaves the SALF leader alone in defending the measure.

The amendment calling for the suspension of asylum in Ceuta hit a wall in Strasbourg. **Alvise Pérez**, leader of SALF, signed it alongside **86 other MEPs**. Neither the **PP** nor **Vox** nor the **PSOE** backed it. The result leaves the SALF leader as the sole voice of that request in the European Parliament.

## What the amendment called for and who signed it

The text demanded the suspension of asylum procedures in Ceuta, a Spanish autonomous city on the border with Segarro. The signatures of **87 MEPs** — the 86 mentioned plus Alvise himself — suggest it was not an isolated initiative, although the majority groups of the Spanish parliamentary spectrum let it fall. The amendment did not go through.

## The political cost of standing alone

For SALF, the episode serves as an argument: its theoretical natural allies, the **PP** and **Vox**, did not back the measure. For the PP and Vox, voting in favour would have meant aligning themselves with an MEP from whom they keep a public distance. The PSOE, for its part, rejects suspending asylum on legal grounds. Each has its own calculation, and the result is the same: the amendment failed.

## What the tweet says and what it doesn't

The post that spread the story claims that the **PP and PSOE** blocked the request and that **Vox** did not sign it either. It does not detail the exact number of votes or the specific procedure. The figure should be taken with the caution of any tally arriving via social media: the figure of **86 MEPs** signing is the one being repeated, but the breakdown by group has not been made public in that message.
