Fear of immigrants, from Ceuta to Manresa

The article compares the growing fear of illegal immigration, particularly from North Africa, in two Spanish cities, Ceuta and Manresa. In both places, residents, especially women, express concerns about safety and have taken precautions such as carrying pepper spray. Ceuta, a city with a diverse population including Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and Jews, has experienced a significant influx of people after a July attack by Moroccan migrants, leading to shortages of pepper spray. In Manresa, a city with a large Moroccan immigrant population, similar fears have emerged despite geographical and economic differences between the two cities. The article highlights the shared sense of insecurity and the impact on daily life, including parents preparing children for school with pepper spray.
