O government delegate in Ceuta, Miguel Ángel Pérez Triano, will present in the next few hours the resignation of his position, advances ABC, citing internal sources of his party.
The departure of the executive representative seconded to the autonomous city will be made official throughout Monday, September 28, day when a press conference is scheduled to announce its departure.
From the Palace of Moncloa they claim that the withdrawal took place on their own initiative “a few days ago” and invoke personal reasons to justify the departure. “It is a human and personal decision, after many weeks of intense work,” said the government sources about the reasons for the resignation.
It is recalled, however, that its management during the Ceuta migration crisis was widely questioned.
According to ABC, his resignation should be approved by the Council of Ministers on Tuesday.
Ceuta Migration Crisis
About 72,000 people entered Ceuta in July irregularly within 24 hours.
Although most people who entered illegally in those hours returned to Morocco, several thousand remain in the Spanish city.
According to the most recent data of the Spanish Government, there are about 6,000 adults and 2,000 minors referred to and registered in reception centres, with a view to opening repatriation or asylum procedures, but between 3,000 and 3,500 people are still on the streets, with no capacity for accommodation in Ceuta.
The crisis also resulted in at least 140 deaths, according to civil society organizations.
The Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla have the only two land borders of the European Union with the African continent.
