Spain seeks EU help in processing migrants in Ceuta
Spain has requested assistance from the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) to manage migrants in the North African enclave of Ceuta, nearly a month after tens of thousands attempted to cross the border from Morocco. Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska asked Beatrice Gminder, head of the European Commission’s Migration and Internal Affairs department, for Frontex support to check undocumented migrants in the area. Authorities say between 5,000 and 8,000 people remain in Ceuta after at least 72,000 crossed into Spain on July 30, resulting in 82 migrant deaths on the Spanish side, with Morocco confirming 14 additional fatalities. Spain has also requested ten more Frontex staff to assist with the checks. The request comes amid rising tensions in Ceuta following protests by residents demanding the removal of migrants. Tents used by migrants at the Trampoline Beach, where many camp, have been attacked and set on fire. On Thursday, 12 migrants were arrested after throwing stones at a military vehicle, injuring one soldier and four migrants. Eleven people were expelled from Ceuta, according to Friday’s report by El Pais citing sources from the city’s main court

Španjolska je zatražila pomoć od Frontexa za obradu migranata u enklavi Ceuti, nakon što je više desetina tisuća ljudi prešlo granicu iz Maroka, uz smrt 96 migranata. Vlade ocjenjuju da je u Ceuti ostalo između 5000 i 8000 ljudi, dok su prosvjednici zahtijevali odlazak migranata. Migranti su koristili šatore na plaži Trampolin, a njihove šatora su napadnuti i zapaljeni. U četvrtak je uhićeno 12 migranata nakon kamenovanja vojnog vozila, a tri osobe su protjerane iz Ceute.

Situacija je opisana kao humanitarna kriza, s naglaskom na potrebu za sigurnim smještajem, vodom i dostojnim uvjetima. Kritizirano je početno postupanje lokalnih vlasti, koje su se pridružile centralnoj vlasti nakon što su se promijenili stavovi. Napetosti su nastale zbog prisustva migranata na javnim prostorima, a stanovnici su organizirali prosvjede zahtijevajući rješenje. Povećan je i broj kriminala, uključujući seksualne napade.

The Spanish government has approved a €309 million aid package for the autonomous city of Ceuta in response to the migrant crisis.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez accused Russia and Israel of spreading disinformation related to the mass migration crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta at the end of July. He stated that these false claims were used to attack Spain’s leftist government over its stance on wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. According to Sánchez, Russian and Israeli networks, along with what he called 'international far-right' groups, spread misinformation online, including false claims about decisions by Spain’s Supreme Court regarding the return of migrants who entered Ceuta by swimming. Over 70,000 people entered Ceuta during the crisis, but more than 90% have since left, leaving around 5,000 in irregular status. Spain has increased its capacity to accommodate migrants from 500 to 3,300 places, planning further expansion to 6,000. Sánchez denied Moroccan involvement in the crisis, stating that Morocco offered immediate cooperation and that no intelligence services indicated Moroccan authorities organized the mass influx. He emphasized the need to maintain collaboration with Morocco to address migration pressures.
