The social outburst grows in Ceuta due to the government's inability
Marlaska puts the number of people remaining in the city at 5,000 and Albares praises the relationship with Morocco and denounces the pull effect on social media, while the people of Ceuta protest angrily.
A month after at least 80,000 irregular immigrants entered Ceuta from Morocco, the city's streets are increasingly tense. The Spanish government has responded with measures including 44.5 million euros to reinforce humanitarian attention and 1,500 accommodation places. Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said 5,000 immigrants remain in Ceuta, including 1,500 minors, and announced "extraordinary" measures to reinforce the border with Morocco.
Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares praised diplomatic communication with Morocco and accused social media of spreading "lies" that contributed to the crisis. The government has requested support from the European Commission, including the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) and Europol.
