Overview
- The Policía Nacional mounted a dawn clearance, deploying from about 07:00 and going tent to tent to order occupants out of the last stretch of sand on Playa Benítez.
- Officers said they estimate 300 to 400 people remained in the encampment and arranged buses to take them to the CATE for filiación, the police identity and registration process.
- After filiación, many people will be transferred to the temporary Loma Colmenar reception camp for shelter and further processing.
- During the operation a group of roughly 20 to 30 people tried to break the police cordon and about six people were detained by authorities.
- The action follows a first clearance on Sunday and aims to remove people from a risky zone near the desalination outlet while bringing them into formal reception, a move that will change their immediate shelter access and legal handling.
