The Spanish government approved a decree to take control of the Ceuta port. This decision allows the executive to directly intervene in the management of the port infrastructure of the Spanish city on African territory.
The decree authorizes the installation of tents in the port to temporarily house migrants. The tents will be set up in the Poniente breakwater area, a specific area of the port.
The objective is to house more than a thousand migrants who have arrived or are arriving in the city. The measure aims to respond to a significant migratory flow that has been pressuring local authorities.
Ceuta is a Spanish city located on the north coast of Africa, being one of the entry points for migrants trying to reach European territory. The humanitarian situation in the region has been worsening lately, leading the central government to intervene in an extraordinary manner.
