Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has convened an extraordinary National Security Council meeting to address the crisis in Ceuta, a city autonomous from Morocco. The crisis began three weeks ago with the irregular entry of 80,000 immigrants, causing social and economic turmoil. Vice President Carlos Cuerpo announced the creation of a unified command center to expedite deportation procedures, boost citizen and border security, and implement an aid plan to revitalize Ceuta's economy.
The government plans to expand the 2022 Integral Socioeconomic Development Plan, which has already injected €180 million, with additional funding to be determined. Cuerpo also mentioned a potential direct aid program for small and medium-sized enterprises and self-employed individuals affected by the crisis.
