Spanish King and Queen visit Ceuta

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia visited the city of Ceuta, in a rare diplomatic move that demonstrates their solidarity with the city's residents amid the migration crisis that has affected relations with Morocco. This is the first such visit since 2007, and it follows the crossing of approximately 80,000 migrants into Ceuta’s borders last July, which resulted in the deaths of more than 140 people. The visit included meetings with local officials, a visit to a multicultural square and school, as well as honoring the victims of crossing attempts at a dedicated cemetery, to support community institutions amid the tensions arising from the crisis.
