Cientos de personas se manifiestan en Ceuta para exigir mayor seguridad escolar

About 500 people marched through Ceuta on Sunday to demand better security and tougher immigration policies. The protest came as the Spanish city faces a migration crisis that began on July 30, with residents worried about their children's safety as the school year starts. Diario de Córdoba reported that demonstrators called for 'real measures, solutions, and expulsions' to protect local students.
Ceuta, a small autonomous city on Morocco's coast, has been overwhelmed by migrants arriving from Africa. Parents and residents say the government hasn't done enough to keep schools safe and secure. The march shows growing anger over how officials have handled the crisis during a critical moment before children return to classrooms.
The migration surge began on July 30, when a wave of migrants reached Ceuta. Since then, the city has struggled to manage the flow of people crossing from Morocco. Local residents say resources are stretched thin and schools lack the security measures needed to protect students.
Families worry that chaos in the streets puts children at risk during their daily commute to school. El Periódico de Extremadura reported that residents want concrete action from the government, not just empty promises or statements about the situation.
Sunday's march focused on four main demands: real security measures, actual solutions to the crisis, deportations of migrants without legal status, and protection of local children's rights. La Provincia noted that marchers rejected what they call hollow responses from Madrid. They want binding commitments, not media statements.
Ceuta's residents feel abandoned by national authorities. They argue the city bears the burden of migration policy while receiving little support. Protest organizers say the government must either secure the border properly or accept responsibility for what happens to local families.
The new school year looms as tensions peak in Ceuta. Teachers and parents worry whether classrooms will have adequate security staff and locked entrances. El Correo Gallego reported that students face an uncertain return to in-person learning while the migration crisis continues outside school gates.
Education officials have not announced new security protocols specific to the migration crisis. Parents say they need clear communication about what steps will protect their children. The march on Sunday signals that Ceuta's people will not stay silent if the government fails to act before classes resume.
