Transfer of migrants from beaches to camp in Ceuta port begins

On Friday, the transfer of migrants from the beaches of Ceuta, particularly from El Trampolín and Benítez, began towards the new camp set up in the city's port. This camp has approximately 1,700 spaces available, while an estimated 5,000 people are attempting to access them, leading to moments of tension among those involved.

Reports indicate that the transfer operation began early in the morning with a strong deployment of the National Police and the Civil Guard, involving up to 240 agents. Despite efforts to organize access, there were reports of attempts to breach the police cordon, resulting in running and, in some cases, charges by security forces.

The situation has led authorities to try to contain panic among the migrants, who fear they will be left without a place. There were moments of agitation, which some political parties labeled as 'absolute chaos' in managing the transfer, calling for accountability from the central government.

Additionally, the president of the Port of Ceuta, Juan Manuel Doncel, expressed his surprise and frustration, indicating that he learned about the transfer through the media and did not receive official communication prior to the operation, raising questions about the coordination of the effort.

The migration crisis in Ceuta persists with the arrival of thousands of people, some of whom have been camping on the streets while awaiting resettlement in other autonomous communities. Navarra has planned the relocation of some minors among the arrived migrants.

In this context, uncertainty remains regarding the situation of other migrants who fail to enter the new camp, as well as the implications for the logistics of future transfer operations in the region.
