Ceuta leader returns from Brussels without commitments
The head of the government of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, returned from Brussels without securing the promised European commitment to take action against Morocco following the mass migration wave in July, as European institutions merely listened to his positions without making any explicit commitments. He repeated accusations against Morocco, claiming that the influx of over 80,000 people occurred without Morocco's knowledge or approval, despite lacking evidence to support this claim. Vivas called for a clear European stance recognizing Ceuta and Melilla as part of Spain, strengthening the presence of European agencies at the borders, enhancing security and technical measures, and expediting the repatriation processes, especially for unaccompanied minors, based on the European Migration Pact. His demands were linked to the European financial package of 115 million euros allocated to the city. Vivas, who is affiliated with the conservative Popular Party, uses the migration issue in a politically escalatory manner against Morocco, despite the existing cooperation ties between the two countries.
