El PaísIndependent🔒CenterFactual 88Objective 827 days agoThe Spanish government has denied claims of a 'health crisis' in Ceuta, stating that while healthcare services are under strain, there is no system collapse. Health Minister Mónica García reiterated this stance after meeting with Juan Jesús Vivas, the president of Ceuta and a member of the People's Party (PP). She emphasized the need for additional spaces in Ceuta to accommodate and provide medical care to migrants who entered the territory illegally from Morocco on July 30 and 31. García argued against the notion that migrants are synonymous with disease, calling such associations 'unfair and xenophobic.' In contrast, Vivas has previously stated that he lacks resources to shelter migrants and has called for their immediate repatriation. He is expected to respond to García’s remarks during a Monday press conference.
