NewzSpanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska announced that authorities have identified 1,898 unaccompanied minor migrants in Ceuta following a mass irregular border crossing, while estimating that a total of 5,000 migrants currently remain in the autonomous city.
The situation has sparked broader political fallout in Spain. The People's Party (PP) has intensified its criticism of the central government, specifically targeting Minister of Presidency and Justice Félix Bolaños to demand details regarding his communications with his Moroccan counterpart.
Meanwhile, regional authorities have weighed in on the management of the minors. The Basque Government, through its director of Infancia, Adolescencia y Familias Txema Ezkerra, stated its preference for reunifying the underage migrants with their families in Morocco rather than distributing them across other regions.
