El Gobierno construirá dos centros permanentes en Ceuta y Melilla para identificar inmigrantes

Spain's government plans to build two permanent immigration processing centers in Ceuta and Melilla with a combined capacity of 1,600 spots. The facilities will be used to identify and process incoming migrants, according to La Opinión de Murcia. Interior Minister Marlaska will discuss the projects with the EU's migration commissioner during a visit to Madrid on Thursday.
Ceuta and Melilla sit on Spain's northern African coast. They serve as entry points for thousands of migrants crossing from Africa each year. The new centers aim to handle identification and registration faster. Currently, temporary facilities often overflow during peak migration periods.
Interior Minister Fernando Marlaska will meet with the European Commission's migration commissioner on Thursday. The meeting in Madrid will cover the new center projects in detail, El Periódico de Extremadura reported. EU coordination is key since migration flows affect multiple member states across southern Europe.
Spain has relied on temporary shelters and tent camps to house migrants in Ceuta and Melilla. The 1,600 new spots across both cities will create permanent infrastructure. This shift signals a long-term commitment to managing migration at these strategic border crossings, La Opinión de Málaga noted.
