Madrid, July 30 (LaPresse) – The Spanish government has decided to mobilize army units deployed in Ceuta to support the Guardia Civil, which is facing serious difficulties due to the influx of thousands of migrants crossing by sea at the Tarajal border crossing separating the Spanish city from Morocco. El País reports this. “The Armed Forces will reinforce the Guardia Civil in carrying out its duties and in any other tasks necessary to maintain security in the city of Ceuta. The deployed personnel will be coordinated by the operational command and will provide support to the Guardia Civil,” sources at the Moncloa said. This new wave of arrivals adds to a crisis that has been putting pressure on the autonomous city for at least a week and recalls the events of 2021, when around 5,000 Moroccans crossed the border in a single day. Although Morocco has just confirmed, as announced by Madrid, that the two countries have reached an agreement to repatriate as soon as possible those who entered Ceuta illegally, the flow of arrivals has not stopped.
