The Spanish government intends to resolve the migratory crisis in Ceuta, but the citizens of the city voted against a solution for about 1,300 people who still remain on the streets. Ceuta is a Spanish territory located in northern Africa and has been the scene of a prolonged humanitarian crisis.

Commentator Enrique Pinto Coelho observes that the Spanish government has protested to其他欧洲国家about the lack of solidarity, but now also faces the lack of solidarity from the citizens of Ceuta themselves. The crisis has already lasted almost 50 days, keeping thousands of people in vulnerable situations on the streets of the city.
