In the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, the landscape has changed radically on the eve of a major diplomatic event. On October 11, 2026, local authorities finalized the dismantling of the last migrant camp set up in the territory. This intervention, carried out with celerity, precedes the official visit of King Felipe VI by only 48 hours, whose arrival is scheduled for October 13. Ceuta, a Spanish enclave located on the North African coast, has long been at the heart of a complex equation between Spain and Morocco. The migration issue constitutes the main point of friction between the two nations, with the land border separating the enclave from Moroccan territory being the recurring scene of crossing attempts and high tensions. While the evacuation of the site before the Spanish sovereign's trip can be interpreted as a security measure, the political context remains particularly sensitive. While Spanish authorities seek to maintain strict control over their borders, this event highlights once again the fragility of the situation in Ceuta. At present, the logistical details concerning the relocation of the evacuated persons have not been specified by the authorities. The real impact of this operation on the sustainable management of migration flows in the region remains uncertain, as do the immediate diplomatic consequences of this sequence a few hours before the monarch's arrival.
