The centre in the port of Ceuta adopted 1700 migrants on 18 September and reached full capacity after a fewer hours. At least 2,000 people returned to the beaches of Benítez and El Trampolín, and the town inactive lacked places for thousands of people. The ad hoc camp did not solve the crisis caused by the failure of control over the border.
1,700 seats occupied in respective hours
The fresh interim hotel in Muelle de Poniente began accepting migrants on Friday morning. The entrance took place mainly between 9.30 and 12.00, after earlier conduct of people from the beaches of Benítez and El Trampolín. Each individual was to be registered before entering. After taking 1,700 seats, further access closed.
The problem was known before the surgery began. There were over 4,000 people on both beaches, according to data cited by Europa Press. Thus, little than half of this group could be accepted by the facility itself. erstwhile it became clear that the seats were missing, the waiting ones began returning to makeshift camps. EFE reported that the facility had been completed within hours.
The beaches are filled again.
At least 2,000 migrants were again on Benítez and El Trampolín. Planned cleaning and disinfection of the beaches were stopped due to the fact that people were inactive there. The operation changed the location of any people, but did not remove the origin of the crisis or its effects on the city.
The central authorities indicated that there were already over 6 1000 temporary accommodation facilities in Ceuta. However, city authorities estimated that more than 5,000 people were inactive on the streets. Various estimates show the scale of the recorded mess, but lead to 1 conclusion: the strategy is overloaded. The latest phase of the crisis has been weighing on Ceuta and its people for weeks.
Further facilities are only in the plans
The administration is considering utilizing the field in the Montesa 3 barracks and the game behind the Fuerte Mendizábal prison. The second location would hold about 2,000 people. This may temporarily reduce the number of people sleeping on beaches and in public spaces, but without fast legal procedures fresh places will besides fill up.
Registration is intended to find the situation of each person. Those who fulfil the conditions of global protection should follow the legal procedure. In the case of persons without a right of residence, the State must exercise return decisions erstwhile legally possible. Human dignity and state efficiency are not at odds here. Chaos harms residents, officers and migrants themselves.
Europe must not be confined to accommodation
Subsequent rows of tents are not a migration policy. The State is to defend the border, recognise requests and make decisions without months of delay. If each fresh facility becomes full immediately, the expansion of the back area itself acts as an costly prosthesis. Madrid had already sought money in Brussels to control the migratory pressure, but backing for impacts will not replace inflow control.
For Poland, the lesson from Ceuta is specific. Border protection, recognition of visitors and the anticipation of effective return of persons without a right of residence decide on the safety of citizens and state spending. erstwhile power neglects the first stage, it later pays for extraordinary police forces, camps, care and social tensions. They pay taxpayers.
Ceuta needs order today, efficient procedures and hard cooperation with Morocco. He besides needs integrity towards residents and migrants. The promise of a place that is physically absent ends in a run to the cordon and back to the beach.
