Tension grows in a Ceuta on the brink of social explosion
Former President Aznar arrives in the autonomous city in the midst of a tense climate in which coexistence deteriorates with the passing of the hours: “The territorial integrity of Spain has been violated and order and security must be restored.”
Almost 9,000 police and military personnel are deployed in Ceuta, struggling to maintain control amid rising tensions.

The atmosphere is charged, with some resorting to matches and others to gasoline cans.
