Ceuta businesses request security subsidies and economic aid

Business representatives in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta are meeting with Vice President Carlos Cuerpo to present a series of emergency measures aimed at mitigating a local economic crisis. A primary request is for government subsidies to cover the costs of private security, which businesses, industrial parks, and residential communities have been hiring to manage security concerns following a massive influx of irregular migrants since July 30.

Entrepreneurs are also seeking a moratorium on Social Security payments, easier access to ERTE (temporary employment schemes), and direct financial aid. The local business sector reports significant economic distress, with some merchants experiencing sales drops of 60% to 70% during August. Business leaders emphasize that a long-term solution to the migration situation is necessary to restore security and ensure the effectiveness of economic revitalization plans.
