Ceuta residents return to the streets and Spanish government requests Frontex and Europol reinforcement

SAPO28 August 2026 at 22:59

Ceuta residents returned to the streets to protest against migrants in the Spanish autonomous city, continuing the expression of social tension that followed the migratory crisis at the border.

The Spanish Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, responded by sending a letter to the European Commission to request operational reinforcements, including additional agents, interpreters and satellite surveillance.

The request for reinforcement is specifically directed at the European agencies Frontex and Europol, which the Spanish government hopes to mobilize to help manage the situation at the border and the presence of migrants in Ceuta.

The Spanish autonomous city of Ceuta, located on the north coast of Africa, has been the scene of significant migratory pressure, leading the Spanish government to seek European support to reinforce control and management of the situation.
