The Getafe City Council has announced that the entire proceeds from the 2026 Santa Cecilia Festival, to be held in November, will be donated to NGOs working in humanitarian aid in Ceuta.

This charitable festival, which commemorates the patron saint of musicians, continues its tradition of allocating funds to solidarity projects. In previous editions, it has supported organizations such as Special Olympics, Cruz Roja, Cáritas, and the Food Bank.
The Councilor for Coexistence, Luis Domínguez, emphasized the importance of a unanimous and coordinated response to the crisis in Ceuta, calling for institutional collaboration and the deployment of resources for border security.
This municipal initiative aligns with the stance of the Spanish Government, promoting humanity and criticizing exclusionary positions. The local Government of Getafe rejects the political opportunism that, according to the statement, seeks to create tension and instrumentalize human tragedy.
Through this gesture, Getafe reaffirms its commitment to solidarity and the work of NGOs and institutions responsible for providing support in complex situations, aiming to gather tangible resources for dignified and coordinated care in the area.
