PP Demands Single Command in Ceuta, Return of All Migrants

The Popular Party (PP) is intensifying its pressure on the government regarding the crisis in Ceuta, demanding a unified command and the immediate return of all irregular migrants. The party has submitted a proposal to Congress outlining eleven measures aimed at restoring normalcy to the autonomous city.

Cuca Gamarra, the PP's deputy secretary for Institutional Regeneration, announced the registration of the non-legislative proposal. She stated that the situation in Ceuta is not merely a migratory crisis but a "sovereignty crisis" and a national security issue. Gamarra argued that the city's normality has not been restored, preventing residents from freely exercising basic rights.

The PP's proposal calls for a national normalization plan coordinated by a single state command. This plan includes reinforcing security forces, border agents, and anti-trafficking specialists. A key demand is the immediate return of everyone who entered irregularly, including minors. For minors, the PP suggests returning them to their families or Moroccan social services, asserting that Morocco expects their return.

Furthermore, the PP advocates for increased cooperation with Morocco, contingent on adherence to bilateral agreements on border control and migrant readmission. They also propose involving the European Union through Frontex deployment. The party seeks to strengthen border security legally and structurally, reform the Foreigners Law to allow immediate border rejections, and end "mass regularizations."
