The Minister for Youth and Childhood, Sira Rego, sent a message of self-criticism and solidarity to the society of Ceuta, acknowledging that the Government has "a share of responsibility" in the "extraordinary overflow" situation experienced after the entry of thousands of migrants into the city.
Rego publicly acknowledged the Executive's failure in managing the migration crisis, assuming the Government's share of responsibility in the face of the emergency situation experienced in the Spanish enclave.
The "overflow" situation refers to the massive arrival of migrants to Ceuta, which caused an unprecedented humanitarian and logistical crisis in the Spanish city located in North Africa.
This acknowledgment by Rego contrasts with the usual stance of the Spanish Government and represents an explicit admission that the authorities were not prepared to deal with the migratory flow that afflicted Ceuta.
