Watch: Over 50,000 protest over Spain's handling of Cueta migrant crisis

Thousands of people took to the streets across Spain on Wednesday including the coastal city of Ceuta to protest the government's handling of a mass influx of migrants into the Spanish exclave on the North African coast.Roughly 50,000 protesters gathered in Madrid alone, according to Al Jazeera. In Ceuta, residents draped Spanish and city flags over their shoulders as demonstrations continued amid growing tensions over the migrants who remain in the territory.The protests were organised by city councils in areas where Spain's conservative Partido Popular (PP) and far-right Vox either govern or have significant support. Demonstrators called for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to resign, while some demanded that migrants be returned to their countries of origin or redistributed across Spain.The protests follow the mass crossing of migrants from Morocco into Ceuta on July 30 and 31.
