Ceuta faces crisis as police warn of chaos amid migration influx
Police unions and the Civil Guard are warning that Ceuta is on the brink of chaos due to a massive influx of migrants. Officials report that approximately 10,000 people remain in the city following recent arrivals. Law enforcement representatives have criticized the central government's response, noting that the only recent reinforcement consisted of just 18 agents. Furthermore, the Unified Association of Civil Guards (AUGC) has filed a formal notice regarding the biological risks faced by officers deployed to the area, citing direct contact with bodily fluids during containment and rescue operations.
Political tensions are escalating as the People's Party (PP) demands the return of migrants to Morocco and increased structural policing. Leaders like Juan Jesús Vivas and Cuca Gamarra have called for more state resources, including judges and teachers, to restore normality. Meanwhile, the Ministry of the Interior faces criticism for the absence of officials at Senate hearings regarding the crisis.
In a separate matter, the Unified Private Security Union (SUSP) in Porto, Portugal, has reported an increase in violence and attacks against private security guards, citing insufficient police presence in the city's downtown area.
