The Spanish Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente, has signed an order to take control of the port of Ceuta and authorise the installation of tents to temporarily accommodate over 1,000 migrants. The order, signed under the Ports of the State and Merchant Navy Law, allows for the installation of tents on 16,000 square meters of public port domain.
This decision comes after the Port Authority of Ceuta's Board of Directors, controlled by the city of Ceuta, voted against the installation of the tents. The Ministry of Transport has taken over due to the exceptional situation in Ceuta, authorising the use of part of the port's service area.
