As a sign of this backing, the flag of Ceuta will be flown at the Velilla de San Antonio Town Hall throughout the month of September, as a gesture of institutional recognition and support.
The institution conveys a clear message of support to the people of Ceuta, reaffirming its solidarity and defense of the rights and dignity of migrants, refugees, and international protection applicants, with special attention to minors in vulnerable situations.
Any expression of racism, xenophobia, hatred, or violence is firmly rejected, as are attempts to instrumentalize people or territories for political or geopolitical confrontation.
The statement emphasizes the need for an institutional response based on serenity, responsibility, cooperation, and co-responsibility between administrations and territories, implementing the necessary resources to protect coexistence.
Recognition is given to the work of institutions, security forces, and public services working to address the situation, as well as the response from residents, associations, and Ceuta collectives demonstrating that solidarity, coexistence, and respect remain part of the city's identity.
From Velilla de San Antonio, a Spain based on respect, coexistence, solidarity, and the dignity of all people is defended, looking towards Ceuta with closeness and respect on its day.
