Iker Jiménez reports on migration crisis in Ceuta

Journalist Iker Jiménez has reported from Ceuta following a recent influx of migrants, highlighting the social and political tension in the Spanish autonomous city. During his coverage for the program ‘Horizonte’ on Cuatro, Jiménez documented the local atmosphere, noting significant public support for his reporting amidst ongoing protests against the government's management of the migration crisis.

Jiménez described the situation on the ground as starkly different from official institutional accounts. His reporting included footage of improvised shelters known as ‘toperas’—holes excavated in the mountains used by migrants to avoid official channels—and observations of people moving through the city at night. He noted finding messages painted on school walls and interviewed residents who expressed concerns regarding security and the ongoing presence of undocumented individuals in the area.
