Ceuta migrants leave public spaces as Sánchez seeks help
In Ceuta, Spain’s autonomous city, migrants have left many of the public spaces they occupied after thousands of people arrived on 30 and 31 July. Spain’s prime minister Pedro Sánchez said on Tuesday, 6 October, after a cabinet meeting in Madrid that the situation is improving. He pointed to voluntary returns in recent weeks, but said his government wants faster progress.
Unaccompanied migrant children remain in Ceuta. Sánchez called on Ceuta’s government and Spain’s regional governments to work together on a solution for them.
Sánchez has not ruled out visiting Ceuta before the 29 November elections. He said he would discuss a trip with his campaign committee. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia are due to visit Ceuta and Melilla next week.
