Elma Saiz, Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations, visits the city of Ceuta this Monday to learn about the humanitarian assistance device for immigrants who stormed the border at the end of July. The minister will offer three new locations to install a kind of provisional camps where they can be in better conditions, at least part of the immigrants who have been living for three weeks on the street or on the beaches of the autonomous city.

For now, the autonomous city and the Government Delegation have rejected four places offered by the Executive to install said tents. The last one to have been rejected, despite the administrative procedures having been initiated to enable them by the Ministry of Migrations and even by the Ministry of Public Works, has been an esplanade in the port expansion area.

But prior to this, the autonomous city or the Government Delegation rejected for different reasons to install provisional tents, both in the old flour factory, and in a soccer field, and in a military zone, in addition to also ruling out some warehouses in the industrial park next to the Tarajal border. It is being very complicated to specify a space, therefore, this Monday Minister Elma Saiz will propose to the president of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, three spaces to locate more than 1,500 of the most vulnerable profiles. According to technical sources, Vivas rejects that these facilities be permanent and opts for temporary solutions because he continues to bet on the return of these people to Morocco.

The plan consists of installing provisional tents and that most of the places be managed by NGOs with experience in managing this type of reception spaces. Of the 1,500 places that are intended to be enabled, most, about 800, will be for Sudanese whose nationality is the majority among the young people who remain in Ceuta with the intention of obtaining asylum in our country. All this happens after new protests by Moroccan asylum seekers who are beginning to receive negative notifications to their requests. This situation has already happened to 500 of those who are still in the CETI and who had entered before July 30.
