  "summary": "Spanish authorities have released a report criticising Moroccan police for not attempting to disperse a large group of people at the border. The National Centre for Immigration and Borders found that Moroccan police made no serious effort to move the crowd away from the border perimeter.\n\nThe report's findings coincide with ongoing protests in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, over the government's handling of a migration crisis. In July, at least 72,000 people crossed from Morocco into Ceuta. According to Ceuta's authorities, over 10,000 migrants, including unaccompanied minors, remain in the enclave, with many living in makeshift camps or scattered across streets and beaches.\n\nProtesters have taken to the streets, waving Spanish flags and calling for the government to take action. Some have demanded that migrants be sent back to their countries of origin or redistributed across Spain, while others have called for Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to resign. The protests have also taken place in other cities across Spain, including Madrid, Barcelona, and Bilbao.",
