Fifty days into the crisis, papers mapped more than 10,000 migrants between centres and settlements in Ceuta, with hundreds still on Trampolín beach despite transfers to the port camp. Coverage shifted from counts to blame: the government moved against mayor Vivas, doubts grew over Diego Rubio’s continuity, and the PP demanded return of minors to Morocco.
By midday thousands marched to Tarajal and blocked the border chanting expulsion and defending Spanishness. Sánchez, at the Festa de la Rosa, promised Ceuta would return to normality and accused PP and Vox of destructive disloyalty; Illa backed him. Feijóo answered from Badalona with border protection and a reform of nationality law.
Evening attention turned to Germany, where exit polls gave AfD victory in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the Left in Berlin, with Merz’s CDU at historic lows.
