El Gobierno niega un “colapso” sanitario y reclama espacios en Ceuta para atender a los migrantes

El presidente de la ciudad autónoma dice que no tiene recursos y exige que los migrantes sean devueltos

El Gobierno niega un “colapso” sanitario y reclama espacios en Ceuta para atender a los migrantes

Spain's health in Ceuta is described as "tense", yet the government insists there is no "collapse". Health Minister Mónica García reiterated this statement multiple times to the media following her meeting with the city's President and People's Party leader, Juan Jesús Vivas on Sunday. She persistently requested "spaces" in Ceuta to house and care for the migrants who illegally crossed the border from Morocco on July 30th and 31st.

According to her, these facilities are a priority to prevent the spread of illness among those currently in an irregular status. She vehemently opposed the notion that migrants equate to diseases, calling it "unjust" and "xenophobic". In contrast, Vivas has been presenting the idea that there are no resources to house the foreigners and demands immediate repatriation of the migrants. He will respond to the minister's remarks in a press conference on Monday.
