In Spain’s Ceuta, Hundreds of Migrants Stage Protest and Demand Asylum
Migrants demanded asylum and refused return to Morocco as officials said 5,000 to 8,000 people still remained in the enclave.
- Hundreds of migrants staged a beach protest in Ceuta, demanding asylum instead of repatriation to Morocco. Protesters held Spanish flags and chanted, "We need a solution."
- The protesters are among an estimated 5,000 to 8,000 migrants remaining in Ceuta after a mass border crossing two weeks ago that saw over 72,000 people surge into the territory.
- Mohammed Ouanzar, a 39-year-old automation specialist from Fez, said average monthly salaries of 3,000 dirham made it impossible to buy a home or start a family.
- Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska stated earlier this week that irregular migrants cannot stay in the enclave or travel to mainland Spain, except in rare cases of extreme vulnerability.
- Health Minister Monica Garcia acknowledged local health services are under pressure but rejected claims of a "collapse," while medical board head Enrique Roviralta warned of potential disease outbreaks.
