The mayor of Ceuta, Juan Jesus Vivas, has requested the establishment of a detention center to accommodate and contain thousands of asylum seekers and undocumented migrants currently inhabiting the streets of the Spanish North African territory. This demand comes after a mass influx from Morocco last month that has led to dire conditions for these individuals, causing political and social unrest in Ceuta. The surge of migrants, estimated at 80,000 by Spanish authorities, has put significant strain on the resources of this small territory, with thousands remaining, including hundreds of unaccompanied children who cannot be swiftly deported under Spanish law. This situation has sparked a heated political debate between Spain's central government and regional administrations led by conservative and far-right parties, particularly concerning the handling of unaccompled minors. Ceuta Mayor Vivas estimates that between 8,000 and 11,000 migrants remain in the territory, a situation he deems unsustainable. The Spanish government has responded by increasing police and troop numbers to assure the population, but protests against the migration crisis continue, with over 5,000 residents gathering on Sunday to voice their concerns.
