Madrid (Spain), Sept. 8 (LaPresse) – The arrival of 80,000 people en masse in Ceuta “was made possible by Morocco’s participation or Morocco’s consent”, which behaved “improperly and showed disrespect not only to Spain but to the EU”. Ceuta President Juan Jesus Vivas said this at a press conference in Brussels at the European Parliament. Meanwhile, more than 16,000 students in the autonomous city have returned to school amid uncertainty and mistrust among teachers and families. Spain’s Education Ministry has prepared a plan to strengthen security because of the situation created by the mass influx of migrants at the end of July, while the issue of schooling for unaccompanied migrant minors who remain in the enclave has yet to be resolved. Education Minister Milagros Tolón, who is visiting Ceuta today, said yesterday in an interview with public broadcaster TVE that the issue will be resolved within “a few weeks”. Among the measures agreed at a meeting chaired last week by Secretary of State for Education Abelardo De la Rosa are a greater presence of the State Security Forces and Corps and the Armed Forces along access routes to schools, as well as private security personnel inside all schools from the beginning of the month, RTVE reports.
