Madrid is reportedly planning to give beds to 10,000 illegals in Spain’s North African Ceuta exclave, undermining claims made by the Sánchez government and indicating that the crisis facing the small city is nowhere near over. While Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska claimed last month that there only remained around 5,000 illegal aliens in Ceuta following the dramatic storming of the border by an invasion of upwards of 70,000 migrants from Morocco in July, reports indicate that the true number remaining within the city is much higher.
According to Spain’s paper of record, ABC, La Moncloa is preparing to expand its accommodation capacity for alleged asylum seekers within the next month to house some 10,000 migrants. This would be in addition to the 2,000 beds dedicated to supposed unaccompanied minors within the city, many of whom were left behind by their families in the wake of the invasion, given their better chances at receiving refugee status in Spain due to their age. The paper remarked that this would directly contradict the claims from the government on the number of illegals continuing to roam the streets of the small city, or who remain in ramshackle reed and garbage tents on Trampolin Beach.
