Ceuta migration crisis: Spain to appoint Minister Torres as coordinator
The Spanish Government has announced that Minister of Territorial Policy Ángel Víctor Torres will be appointed to coordinate the migration crisis in Ceuta. This decision comes three weeks after a massive influx of approximately 80,000 people crossed the maritime border from Morocco. Torres will assume centralized command over several key ministries, including Interior, Foreign Affairs, Defense, Migration, Health, and Youth and Childhood.
The appointment follows significant political pressure and criticism regarding the management of the crisis. Local leaders, including Ceuta's President Juan Jesús Vivas, had previously called for unified command. Meanwhile, the crisis has caused political friction within the national government and sparked criticism from regional leaders.
In response to the instability, Andalusian President Juanma Moreno has pledged significant support for Ceuta's economic recovery. Moreno met with Vivas to propose a collaborative program to relaunch Ceuta's tourism and business sectors, including joint marketing efforts that would treat Ceuta as an extension of the Costa del Sol and improved maritime connections with Málaga.
