🌊 Migrants

A prosecutor has initiated an investigation into alleged mistreatment of minor migrant girls in a reception center in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave. This development coincides with a warning from Spain's embassy in Rabat to the government about a potential large-scale influx of migrants into Ceuta, signaling persistent concerns over the migratory crisis. The handling of migrant transfers to Ceuta's port has drawn widespread criticism from the opposition People's Party, the Prime Minister's coalition partners, unions, and police, all expressing concerns about the Interior Ministry's management. More than 2,000 migrants have reportedly returned to Ceuta's beaches after being unable to find space in the port camp, with over 3,000 immigrants still on the streets following tense relocation efforts. Politically, the People's Party and Vox have formed a united front, demanding explanations from the government regarding a 'secret call' to the Moroccan embassy. Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the opposition People's Party, is also accelerating efforts for a 'euro-agreement' in response to lobbying concerning Ceuta, emphasizing its importance for Spain and the EU.
