A group of over 20 Moroccan migrants protested Monday after being stranded at Ceuta’s Temporary Immigration Reception Center (CETI) for more than six months after arriving via migrant boats or swimming.
Local media reported that the migrants, aged 19 to 52, failed to secure appointments to submit asylum documents that would allow them to travel to Spain.
They have not received any assistance from the center in this regard, prompting them to protest on Monday in front of a police station and later at asylum offices.
According to the same sources, the protests did not yield any results, as the migrants couldn’t speak to any officials about the scheduling issues, which must be arranged through the website.
“Some people stayed for just a month and already got their appointments, while we’ve been here for six months without any. When we access the website to book an appointment, it says there are no available slots, yet we see others getting appointments,” one of the migrants said in a statement to the press.
