  "account": "Madrid’s left-wing government has taken control of the port in Ceuta, a North African exclave, to set up a migrant camp amidst a dispute over accommodation. Transport Minister Óscar Puente signed an order authorizing the construction of a tent camp, overruling Ceuta’s local authorities. The regional government, led by Juan Jesús Vivas, had opposed the camp, citing its importance for supplying the exclave and a nearby fuel depot. However, residents have staged protests against temporary accommodations in other locations. Ceuta currently hosts around 5,000 migrants, many of whom are minors, with the government obligated to conduct a case-by-case review for deportation to Morocco.",
