Migrant Minor Transfers Planned; Judges Report Daily Assaults in Ceuta

New developments in the Ceuta migrant crisis include the Spanish government's plan for the urgent transfer of 500 migrant girls to the mainland, potentially through a royal decree-law. This comes amidst an urgent call for help from judges in Ceuta, who report a disturbing rate of daily sexual assaults in the enclave. The government is facing mounting pressure, with senior PSOE officials openly criticizing its handling of the situation and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez being criticized for his absence during the crisis.

Meanwhile, a court has mandated that the government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Community of Madrid, reinstate funding for fire prevention. In Granada, the region continues to experience significant seismic activity, with over 420 tremors recorded in four days, though the Alhambra has partially reopened to the public. Additionally, a new wildfire in Las Hurdes has led to the evacuation of 700 residents. [cite: elDiario.es, 20minutos, elDiario.es]

Forensic teams in Ceuta have also shared the immense emotional toll of processing a high number of deaths in a short period. [cite: La Vanguardia, EL PAÍS]
