Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

Spanish authorities have announced the establishment of four designated spaces to accommodate up to 1,500 migrants in Ceuta, more than two weeks after a mass influx into the city. The minister for Migrations and Inclusion, Elma Saiz, revealed this information during a delegation meeting in the autonomous city. "Collaboration between institutions is crucial to restoring normalcy as soon as possible," Saiz emphasized, just hours after Ceutan President Juan Jesús Vivas raised concerns about the Sánchez government's handling of the situation.

Saiz did not clarify whether the priority for the hundreds of migrants still living on the streets and beaches is to return them to Morocco or to process their asylum applications. She only specified that the undertaken actions will be carried out in accordance with "the current legal framework."
