The Ceuta migrant crisis dominated for the eighth consecutive day. In the morning, police again evicted hundreds of migrants from El Trampolín beach, but they returned after cleanup. The government appointed Minister Ángel Víctor Torres as crisis coordinator, though it resisted a unified command. Two mafias charging up to €9,000 for transfers to the peninsula were dismantled. Morocco reiterated its sovereignty claims over Ceuta and Melilla, prompting Spain's rejection. Two jihadists linked to the assault were arrested. By evening, Italy noted that dangerous conditions justifying controls on Spain persisted.
