Firefighters in Ceuta are exhausted and want the problem to be solved. This was the message conveyed by Ireneu Teixeira, who spoke on behalf of the professionals facing the situation in the Spanish city.

Ireneu Teixeira also addressed the issue of external pressures on Western liberal democracies. In his speech, the official associated the current instability with the actions of authoritarian and radical regimes.

The situation experienced by the firefighters reflects the difficulties faced on the ground, in a broader context of tensions that go beyond the borders of Ceuta and affect the democratic structures of Europe.
