Interior budgets nine million euros to reinforce the maritime border of El Tarajal
The works will include the extension of the Ceuta breakwater and the installation in the water of a buoyed system to deploy a net to the bottom of the sea.
The Spanish Ministry of Interior has announced it will extend the El Tarajal border point in Ceuta, where over 70,000 irregular migrants entered on July 30-31, with 80 dying by drowning. The construction, to be done in two phases, is estimated to cost 7 million euros, plus 2 million for a beacons system to deploy a high-resistance containment net. This will replace a 500-meter floating barrier installed after the massive influx, which is damaged by waves.
