The Autonomous City of Ceuta currently has the lowest number of immigrant minors from Morocco in the last four years, 110 children, compared to the more than a thousand that it registered in May 2021.

As reported to EFE by Ceuta government sources this Wednesday, the number of minors has been gradually decreasing in recent months, either due to family reunifications, transfers to other autonomies (about 200) or because they left voluntarily and illegally to the Peninsula..

Thus, Ceuta currently has 110 children sheltered in the rehousing center of La Esperanza, as other alternative places where minors from Morocco had been sheltered have been closed..

The return to Morocco of 55 minors in August 2021 is still pending a judicial decision, a fact for which the then Government delegate, Salvadora Mateos, and the Minister of the Presidency and Vice President of the Government of Ceuta, Mabel Deu (PP) are being prosecuted. , for an alleged breach of the law in this process.

Both have argued that the delivery of the minors was made with all the legal guarantees based on the agreement signed between Spain and Morocco in 2007..
