Madrid denies asylum and seizes files
The Spanish government intends to ratify an exceptional legal decree aimed at accelerating the deportation of Moroccan migrants who flooded the occupied city of Ceuta during a mass crossing last July, under political pressures and legal requirements. The new law will allow the deportation of migrants whose asylum applications have been rejected before completing judicial procedures, thereby reducing administrative delays and addressing current loopholes that prevent deportation while asylum requests are under review. Spanish authorities estimate that about 10,000 Moroccan migrants are currently in Ceuta out of a total of 80,000 who crossed during the events that resulted in the death of 141 people by drowning. Currently, asylum requests are being processed, most of which are rejected, with minors being an exception. This move comes amid protests within Spain and political tensions, while Morocco affirms its readiness to receive its citizens, pointing out that Spanish legal complexities had been slowing down deportation processes.
