She was responding to criticism from the right and far-right over the government's handling of a recent influx of immigrants to Ceuta on July 30 and 31. Rego called for the swift transfer of minors to the mainland to alleviate the overcrowding, with 1,478 children and teenagers currently in care centers in the city, 50 times above capacity.
