Ceuta Migration Update: Adult Moroccan Migrants Return Home, Minors Remain

The vast majority of Moroccan adults who participated in the migration wave last May have left Ceuta for Morocco, according to local authorities.

This is what the president of the Spanish enclave, Juan Jesús Vivas, said on the occasion of the official visit of the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, José Luis Escrivá, reports the Spanish media.

To date, he added, only 30% of the unaccompanied minors who took part in this exodus have also left the city. They number 350 out of 1,100 still present, due to Spanish laws.

Furthermore, the authority welcomed the "absolute support of the State in these difficult times" and of the European Union "in an explicit and unequivocal manner", expressing the wish that his city be integrated into the Schengen area and the European Union customs, in order to oblige the inhabitants of Tetouan and Fnideq to access the city with visas.
