Ceuta threatens to sue Madrid over migrant crisis
Ceuta’s conservative regional president, Juan Jesús Vivas, warned he will take the Spanish government to court if thousands of migrants are not expelled, stating the enclave is in a state of exception after a July border surge that saw more than 70,000 Moroccans cross and left roughly 5,000–8,000 migrants on site. He set a 30-day deadline for Madrid to restore normality, while officials in Madrid and Ceuta have since agreed to four new sites for about 1,500 migrants, including women-only areas, signaling a potential path forward amid calls for humanitarian care.
