Censos improvisados en el barrio de El Príncipe tras la llegada de cientos de menores: “Esto rompe cualquier parámetro”
En la periferia de la ciudad, los vecinos se hacen cargo de los menores migrantes que cruzaron a nado y que las autoridades no saben dónde ubicar
In Ceuta, an unusual situation has unfolded: those at the top suffer the harshest consequences of any crisis, while those at the bottom can choose to isolate themselves from it. El Príncipe Alfonso, a slum, continues to bear the brunt of being the most dangerous neighborhood in Spain, a labyrinth of narrow alleys often compared to the favelas of Brazil.
However, in these days following the massive border crossing, El Príncipe does not conform to the typical image of misery and drug trafficking. Its chaotic streets overflow with a staggering accumulation: women cleaning large copper pots at the entrances, migrants queuing up in garages to receive food and clothing, and men distributing papers so that dozens of child orphans can be registered.
Since almost a week ago, when 72,000 migrants crossed the border by boat, this slum became the avenue through which the majority entered. Many, driven by sheer inertia, ran barefoot through the steep San Daniel street leading to El Tarajal. And many more, pushed by the Police, were dispersed into this neighborhood en masse.
