Overview
- Miguel Ángel Pérez Triano resigned from the post of Government Delegate in Ceuta and gave up all his PSOE‑Ceuta positions, citing a campaign of harassment and attacks on his family.
- The Council of Ministers named David de la Encina as the new delegate, a Ceuta‑born lawyer and former mayor of El Puerto de Santa María who now lives in Cádiz and worked for Andalucía Emprende.
- Local PSOE leaders reacted angrily to the choice of an outsider and Ferraz must appoint a temporary management committee (Gestora) and find a new candidate for the 2027 regional elections.
- The personnel change comes with the migration crisis unresolved: institutional counts put tens of thousands at the border since late July and more than ten thousand people remain in temporary sites, including many minors.
- Judicial inquiries and internal disputes over what officials knew before the late‑July crossings continue and the new delegate will operate under the national coordinator for Ceuta’s crisis response.
