European Commission grants Spain 114.7 million euros to address the situation in Ceuta

RTP Notícias9 September 2026 at 15:00

The European Commission announced on Wednesday that it had granted Spain 114.7 million euros in aid to manage the situation in its North African enclave of Ceuta. This funding is intended to address the challenges related to migratory pressure in the region.

Ceuta is a Spanish enclave located on the North African coast, and has historically been an important crossing point for migratory flows. The EU financial aid aims to support the Spanish authorities in managing this situation.

The amount of 114.7 million euros represents significant support from the European Union to the neighboring country. This decision demonstrates the European commitment to supporting member states facing migratory pressures on their external borders.
