Thousands Protest in Spain Over Ceuta Migrant Crisis and Government ResponsePreviousNext

Thousands protested across Spain, including in Ceuta, over the government's handling of a migrant crisis following a July surge of around 72,000 migrants from Morocco. Over 10,000 migrants remain in Ceuta, many in makeshift camps, prompting local demands for their removal or redistribution. Protesters criticized Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, while the government denied claims that Morocco orchestrated the crossing. The crisis has sparked political debate and ongoing tensions in the enclave and nationwide.
