Ceuta Border Delays: Motorcyclists Face Passport Stamp Refusals from Moroccan Agents
Residents of Ceuta traveling by motorcycle claim to have spent more than an hour before entering the autonomous city because Moroccan agents refused to stamp their passports.
"We arrived and they didn’t want to stamp our passports," one of them explains to El Faro de Ceuta, denouncing this unjustified attitude on the Moroccan side of the border. The motorcyclist specifies that he didn’t see any agent at the corridor reserved for motorcycles and that he inquired about where to get his passport stamped.
According to his account, the police officer in charge of stamping passports refused to do so and his superior ignored the situation, which caused a traffic jam and forced many motorcyclists to turn back. Those who preferred to wait, including a pregnant woman, spent more than an hour before getting their passports stamped and crossing the border.
The people concerned denounce "the degrading treatment" reserved for Ceuta citizens at the Moroccan border and demand that measures be taken to put an end to these situations.
