The incident occurred around 10:00 AM at the legation located in the Centro district of the capital. Faced with the risk of an assault, agents from the National Police's Prevention and Reaction Unit (UPR) were urgently dispatched to the scene.

The presence of police officers was sufficient to calm tensions among the group of Gambian citizens, immediately restoring normalcy. The intervention concluded without any arrests, as confirmed by police sources.

The situation's origin lies in the high demand for the vulnerability certificate, a crucial document for irregular foreign nationals to regularize their status. This certificate is one of three legal avenues, along with rootedness and family ties, to benefit from the extraordinary regularization process promoted by the Spanish Government.

The accreditation is indispensable to prove that the applicant meets the social vulnerability requirements demanded by the Ministry. This event highlights the logistical difficulties of the procedure, with various public administrations complaining about the lack of resources to manage the volume of applications, leading to administrative bottlenecks and tense situations.
