Sources from the ministry led by Ana Dávila indicated that the Community's participation is out of "support for Ceuta" and does not imply approval of what they consider an "inhumane migration policy of the Government of Pedro Sánchez, which continues to cost lives".
The meeting, organized by the Ministry of Youth and Childhood and the autonomous communities, will focus on the 25 million euro extraordinary credit for Ceuta. The Madrid government insists on the need for greater border control, reinforcement of the Civil Guard, and the fight against mafias. Furthermore, it advocates for the reunification of migrant minors with their families or their transfer to Morocco's child protection system, "which exists and functions," according to the same sources.
This meeting follows the massive and irregular arrival of migrants in Ceuta on July 30 and 31. The president of the Autonomous City of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, estimates that between 8,000 and 11,000 people still remain in the autonomous city.
