Ceuta's president warns that the autonomous city is "a pressure cooker that can explode at any time."

Ceuta's citizens, he explained, are living "the most difficult time in history" since "about 100,000 people" entered the city on 30 and 31 July.

Los Reyes visitan Ceuta, por primera vez desde la llegada al trono de Felipe VI, para mostrar su solidaridad y respaldo a los ceutíes dos meses y medio después de la entrada masiva de más de 80.000 migrantes desde Marruecos, en un momento en que aún sigue sin haberse normalizado del todo la situación.

President of Ceuta Juan Vivas thanks the Kings ofSpain for their historic visit to the autonomous city, which "will help to build confidence because it can illuminate the end of the tunnel we have been in for two long months." 

At a hearing at Ceuta City Hall, Vivas said of the state of the city that"it's a pressure cooker that can explode atany time. "



Ceuta's citizens, he explained, are experiencing "the most difficult time in history "since the" nearly 100,000 people "entered the city on 30 and 31 July.

"This invasion, which has resulted in the deaths of at least 141 people, was created, organized and carried out with the intention of endangering the Ceuta flotation line," Vivas said.

"It has led to a serious deterioration in safety, health, education and other basic services, all of which have led to economic deterioration, uncertainty, concern and the risk of the collapse of coexistence," he said.
