El Consejo de Ministros declara la situación de interés para la seguridad nacional en Ceuta
On Tuesday, the Government approved an initial project to reform the laws on foreigner and asylum policies during their first Council of Ministers after the summer break. As stated by the Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska in the press conference following the meeting, the aim is to align Spanish legislation with the European pact on migration and asylum.
For the first time in history, the situation in Ceuta has been declared of "national security interest" by the Executive spokesperson Elma Saiz, and the creation of a single command responsible for managing the crisis facing Ceuta since the mass influx of around 80,000 migrants on July 30th and 31st has been formalized. The management of this crisis will be led by the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, and will also include Ceuta's President Juan Jesús Vivas, the Government delegate in the autonomous city, and representatives of the National Intelligence Center.
