As soon as I arrived, I learnt that a demonstration against the government had just been called, and I made arrangements to go and film it. By then, it made no difference that the Interior Ministry was insisting that almost all the migrants had returned to Morocco. To the chants of "Ceuta is not for sale", "Pedro Sánchez, resign!" and "Ceuta, united, will never be defeated!", those present said they felt abandoned, humiliated and betrayed.
"This cannot be, Spain cannot have such a useless intelligence service that it has no idea what is going on in Ceuta," one woman told me, saying she had not managed to sleep for two nights and had shut herself away at home with her granddaughters.
