In early August 2026, the far‑right Vox party lodged a formal complaint against the Ceuta government delegate, seeking urgent judicial measures. The party called for the Ministry of Defence to reinforce the Spanish Armed Forces in the enclave and to deploy naval assets around the Tarajal breakwater, arguing that the recent migration surge was foreseeable and that authorities had failed to act.

Later the same day, Vox’s Andalusian vice‑president Manuel Gavira announced on social media that the regional government would block any plan to transfer unaccompanied migrant children from Ceuta to other parts of Spain. He framed the influx as an “invasion” and urged that the children be returned to Morocco with their parents, directly opposing the national government’s redistribution scheme.

Both actions illustrate Vox’s coordinated push to tighten border security and to prevent the relocation of migrant minors, positioning the party against the central government’s response to the Ceuta crisis.
