Ceuta is approaching social unrest after the burning of a migrant camp
The spark that puts Ceuta on the brink of social explosion began to ignite yesterday. Literally. After days in which tension was starting to overflow the autonomous city, Benítez beach became the image that depicts the state of the autonomous city almost a month after the massive entry of more than 80,000 people. A cordon of riot police separates two realities: in front of the police, hundreds of Ceutans increasingly fed up shout for the immediate expulsion of the “invaders”; behind the officers, also hundreds of immigrants, defiant, show their intention to resist, not to return to their country. The smoke, like a pressure cooker about to blow up, envelops the beach. The smoke comes from the huts of the camp that a group of neighbors set on fire, after destroying it.
