Ceuta migrant camp preparations enter final stage amid local opposition

Preparations for a temporary migrant camp at the Poniente Pier in Ceuta are entering their final stages. Workers from Tragsa have completed the first phase of installation, which includes designated areas for psychology and pediatrics. A second phase is underway, involving the preparation of ground for four large tents, each measuring 100 meters in length.

The project faces significant opposition from local businesses and residents, who cite safety concerns regarding the camp's proximity to nearby fuel installations. While the Ministry of Migrations is expected to assume management once furniture is installed, the government has not released a public start date or named the specific organizations that will oversee the facility. Minister of Territorial Policy Ángel Víctor Torres has declined to provide a specific timeline for when the approximately 1,000 migrants currently in the city will be moved into the camp.
