Brussels endorses the return of unaccompanied minor migrants to Morocco

The European Commission has expressed its support for the return to Morocco of unaccompanied minor migrants located in Ceuta. This backing aligns with the European Union's policies, which include the return of all irregular migrants within European territory.

The return of these minors has attracted attention in the context of a migration crisis in Ceuta, where it is estimated that between 70,000 and 80,000 people have illegally entered the autonomous city in recent weeks. This situation has raised concerns among EU member states, prompting a meeting of regional interior ministers.

Brussels' stance is clear that all migrants who remain illegally in Ceuta, including minors, must be returned to their countries of origin. The Commission has insisted that the Spanish government comply with all existing regulations regarding returns.

The People's Party (PP) has termed Brussels' position as

contundente

strong.” According to the PP, this endorsement is seen as the only legal way to address the situation of migrants in Ceuta.

For his part, the representative of the Spanish administration, Saiz, has emphasized that Spain must comply with all regulations following the confirmation of the European Commission's stance on unaccompanied minors.

The debate over managing the migration crisis in Ceuta continues, as different sectors within the country and the European community engage in discussions about the implications and measures to be taken in response to this complicated situation. Concrete actions from the Spanish government are expected in response to Brussels' recommendations.
