El gran desalojo de la playa de El Trampolín: “No es para ir a Marruecos, es una jaima buena”

A young man wandered aimlessly along the beach at El Trampolín, where up to 3,500 migrants from Ceuta were gathered on Thursday. The area, home to a large community of Saharan residents in over a hundred makeshift tents and also visited by Maghrebis who slept in nearby hills to eat donated food, lay empty by 10:00. Amid charred branches, overturned chairs, and food scraps, a Guardia Civil officer specialized in public order maintenance spoke to the teenager.

"What's the matter with you? Are you asleep?" the officer asked. "Hey, over there!" the youth replied. The officer pointed to a group of about 200 people waiting to be moved to one of the two facilities the Ministry of Integration, Social Security, and Migrations prepared for them, humanely, so the autonomous city could recover space and regain some normality.
