Almost a month after the massive jump Ceuta will have a single authority from today
Almost thirty days ago, when the Ceuta crisis broke out, the president of the autonomous city, Juan Jesús Vivas, requested the appointment of a single authority capable of managing all aspects of the humanitarian drama that he already sensed was going to devastate his city. Vivas’s request fell on deaf ears, among other reasons because the Government expected that the more than 70,000 people who crossed the El Tarajal fence would return the way they came. Minister Marlaska or Minister Albares limited themselves to not angering the Moroccan neighbor in the belief that if they kept the door open and Ceuta gave nothing to those who had entered without permission, the crisis would end. But it was not so.

The First Vice President and Minister of Economy, Carlos Cuerpo, has announced two new decisions that the Government will take to try to alleviate the crisis that occurred in the autonomous city of Ceuta after the influx of immigrants from Morocco who crossed the border almost a month ago.

And secondly, Cuerpo himself has offered the President of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, an extraordinary expansion of the Comprehensive Socioeconomic Development Plan of the City of Ceuta, designed in 2022, with the aim of addressing the economic consequences that this crisis is causing, especially in the commercial and tourist fabric of the city.
