The 72 hours in the new immigrant detention center in Ceuta that will test Morocco’s cooperation

When 40 days have passed since the mass entry into Ceuta, the Ministry of the Interior finally has the Temporary Immigrant Care Center (CATE) ready, through which all the people remaining in the autonomous city must pass to be identified in order to determine their future: return or international protection.

For some time now, their supposed leaders have not been so calm.

Around 7:50 PM, as expected, it started raining over Parc del Fòrum, where the Primavera Sound festival is being held. The rain was very heavy, mixed with wind, during the performance of groups like the American band Geese. The wind caused water to reach inside the stage; the Americans were literally soaked.
