VOX tells its members to keep quiet about Ceuta

The amendment calling for the suspension of asylum for irregular migrants in Ceuta, signed by Alvise Pérez and 86 other MEPs, failed to move forward with PP and PSOE opposed. Neither PP nor Vox appear among the signatories.

## What the amendment called for and who signed it

The leader of **SALF**, **Alvise Pérez**, signed an amendment in the European Parliament calling for the suspension of asylum for migrants in an irregular situation in **Ceuta**. The amendment received the backing of **87 MEPs** in total, according to the publication shared by the SALF Europa account.

The proposal forms part of the debate on European migration policy and the situation of the Spanish autonomous city. The text does not detail the specific legal mechanism for such a suspension.

## Who backed it and who did not

**PP** and **PSOE** blocked the request in Strasbourg. **Vox** also did not sign the amendment, despite sharing political ground with SALF on migration issues.

The signatures of **87 MEPs** leave the initiative far short of the majority needed to pass in the European Parliament. SALF's group, with a small presence, needed support from other groups to get any text through.

## Why the gesture matters

The amendment turns asylum in Ceuta into political bargaining chips between parties competing for the same electorate. Vox's failure to sign, while **PP** and **PSOE** blocked it, leaves SALF without allies on an issue it claims as a flagship cause.

The outcome does not change European asylum law, which remains in force. Any modification would require a legislative process different from a parliamentary amendment.
