"Ceuta is not for sale": the city takes to the streets after ten days of tension
The accumulated discontent after the arrival of more than 70,000 people is expressed in a shout during one of the largest demonstrations that the people of Ceuta can remember.
“Ceuta is not for sale. Ceuta is Spain”. The cry echoes in Constitution Square, packed with Spanish and Ceutan flags and thousands of demonstrators. Ten days of tension after the massive entry from Morocco of more than 70,000 people into the city culminate this Sunday in this Ceutan corner, where the accumulated discontent can already be heard at the top of their voices in one of the most massive demonstrations its inhabitants remember.
The horns honk non-stop and “I am Spanish” is repeated again and again among the crowd, getting louder and louder. The manifesto read has demanded “responses” from the authorities for the crisis, “solidarity” for the whole Spanish society and “serenity and unity” for the Ceutans themselves.
