Authorities in the Spanish city of Ceuta began building temporary tents for 1,500 migrants on Tuesday, despite protests from some locals, according to the El Faro newspaper. Ceuta, located in northern Africa, was the site of a wave of migrants from Morocco that entered the enclave about three weeks ago. The vast majority have since left, but about 5,000 remain.
The Sánchez government opens four reception centres for 1500 migrants but the number of irregulars in the city remains very high. Conservative President Vivas breaks the conciliatory tones and accuses socialists of passivity alluding to the need to maintain good relations with Morocco
Minister Elma Saiz visited the enclave and met with local authorities. Madrid has already declared emergency and made EUR 6.5 million available for the crisis.
The refurbishment of three urban sites in the North African city and the contribution of 6.5 million euros seek to curb the critical overcrowding resulting from the crisis at the border.
