Spain Holds Migrants in Ceuta | Morocco News

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says migrants entering Ceuta won’t be sent to the mainland, calling their entry mostly economic—not humanitarian—and expects most to return to Morocco. To handle the surge, Spain is expanding Ceuta’s reception centers to 6,000 spots, including dedicated areas for women and children, while continuing aid like food and shelter. Sanchez prioritizes processing the roughly 1,200 minors still there, with Morocco agreeing to help reunite families and facilitate returns once legal steps are complete. He defends Spain-Morocco cooperation, noting no evidence of Moroccan involvement in the crossings and praising Morocco’s police deployment to stop further entries—warning that without continued collaboration, the crisis will only grow worse.
