Tense calm in Ceuta five days after the massive entry of immigrants
In the autonomous city, military personnel, journalists, and those who remain of the people who entered irregularly, which the Government estimates at 2,500, coexist.
Whether or not Ceuta wants to regain normality is of little consequence. Nothing is even remotely normal. Five days after more than 60,000 migrants entered the city by swimming, it has been split in two. On one side, there are the more central areas where a strong police presence has achieved an apparent cosmetic calm, a kind of custody that allows tourists to return to the streets that just two days ago were being traversed by hundreds of migrants.
The Army keeps them out of this kind of unofficial but evident exclusion zone. The Government estimates that 2,500 people remain in the city after having irregularly crossed the border in recent days.
