Albares' words activate fear of deportation among migrants who arrived by swimming to Ceuta
La confirmación de la cooperación con Marruecos dispara la preocupación entre quienes llevan dos semanas esperando en condiciones precarias una oportunidad para quedarse en España
“They’ve already reached an agreement,” Siraj writes on his phone. He is 16 years old and has been in Ceuta for almost two weeks, since he swam across from Morocco on July 30. The message is addressed to a friend who, like him, is still in the autonomous city. He tells him what he has just heard: the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, has spoken at a press conference.
Less than half an hour has passed since his intervention, but the message is already spreading from phone to phone. In the WhatsApp groups and social networks of the young people who arrived by swimming, the news spreads like wildfire. For many, these words confirm their worst fears.
