Ceuta and Melilla pose growing economic and security challenges for Spain
Our city of Ceuta and Melilla, under Spanish control, face increasing economic and security challenges, especially with the escalation of the irregular migration crisis, which imposes significant costs on Madrid. Ceuta's budget for 2026 amounted to approximately 424 million euros, compared to over 421 million euros for Melilla, with government investments exceeding 711 million euros since 2023 to support development and improve employment opportunities. Efforts to strengthen border surveillance and assist migrants have also intensified, leading to higher health and accommodation costs. Meanwhile, the two cities suffer from high unemployment rates, reflecting an increased dependence on government support, making them ongoing economic and security challenges.
