Ángel Víctor Torres afirma que la prioridad en Ceuta es la repatriación de migrantes

Spain's Territorial Policy Minister Ángel Víctor Torres, heading the unified command managing Ceuta's migration crisis, said Tuesday that the priority is the 'return and repatriation of the greatest number of people, adults and minors' who arrived illegally to the Spanish city. Diario de Ibiza reported that Torres emphasized the government will respect legal procedures while processing the irregular arrivals.
Torres now oversees a unified command structure created specifically to manage the influx of migrants reaching Ceuta. The appointment signals Spain's commitment to a coordinated response. Información reported that the minister's new role consolidates authority over border management and migration processing in the enclave.
Torres stressed that Spain will conduct returns and repatriations within the bounds of the law. El Correo noted that respecting legal procedures remains essential despite pressure to process migrants quickly. The approach balances security concerns with international humanitarian obligations.
The minister specifically highlighted minors as part of the repatriation strategy, acknowledging that children require special protections. Diario de Córdoba reported Torres's commitment to ensuring vulnerable populations receive appropriate handling during processing. Spain faces complex questions about custody and safe repatriation of unaccompanied children.
Ceuta has faced repeated surges of irregular arrivals crossing from Morocco. La Provincia highlighted that the sheer volume of people reaching the territory strains resources. Torres's appointment reflects the government's determination to address what officials describe as an escalating crisis requiring sustained coordination and swift action.
