Overview
- The central government has pledged to put “all the resources of the State” into stabilizing Ceuta and accelerating returns and assistance.
- The Cabinet will declare Ceuta a matter of national security and create a single command, or mando único, to be led by Ángel Víctor Torres to centralize coordination across ministries and agencies.
- The unified committee will include Ceuta’s president, the government delegate, the national intelligence service and relevant ministries, with advice from the Department of National Security.
- The government will expand the 2022 Socioeconomic Development Plan, which has already mobilized more than €180 million, and hold meetings with social and economic actors to define immediate 'shock' measures for businesses, self‑employed people and workers.
- Operational focus has shifted from mass returns to individualized case files and protective care for minors and asylum seekers, with officials stressing full legal and humanitarian guarantees and cooperation with countries of origin.
