Tensión y caos en el traslado de los migrantes de la playa Benítez al puerto de Ceuta
La Policía organiza por grupos a los inmigrantes tras una estampida inicial y momentos difíciles con disparos al aire y varios heridos
Police, civil guards, and military units arrived at Benítez beach early Friday for the transfer of migrants to a provisional camp in Ceuta's port. The operation began shortly before 7:00 a.m. Since 5:00 a.m., hundreds of migrants sleeping on the Trampolín and nearby Benítez beaches had been waiting for the opportunity. When only a few police officers were present in the area, the migrants began running towards the location of the port, causing a stampede of people moving towards Ceuta's marina.
The National Audiencia denied yesterday the temporary suspension of the camp for migrants in Ceuta's port, requested by a police union, meaning the government can continue with its plans to relocate around 1,800 migrants currently camped on Trampolín beach. The standoff between government and opposition over the immigration crisis continues.
