Ceuta migrants protest for asylum
Hundreds of newly arrived migrants demonstrated in the city of Ceuta, demanding the right to asylum instead of being sent back to Morocco. Following a wave of mass crossings during which more than 72,000 people entered roughly two weeks ago, between 5,000 and 8,000 migrants continue to endure harsh conditions on the beaches and outskirts of the city, waiting for an opportunity to move to mainland Europe. The protesters hold up signs and threaten to go on strike, while the city struggles with pressure on its resources and the spread of diseases. Criticism has grown over the slow response of the Spanish government to the crisis and its restrictions preventing migrants from moving into the city center or obtaining legal status. Authorities announced that migrants will not be allowed to stay permanently except in exceptional cases, promoting policies aimed at enforcing immigration laws strictly and preventing them from circumventing regulations.
