The City Council of Antequera will present a proposal to the Plenary to show its solidarity with Ceuta and demand respect for international law and agreements on borders. The mayor, Manolo Barón, has also announced a support gathering for this Wednesday.

The mayor of Antequera, Manolo Barón, presented a proposal on Monday that will be debated in the ordinary Plenary of September under the title “Solidarity of Antequera with the people of Ceuta, defence of their rights and demand for respect for international law and agreements on border control and protection.” The initiative, which comes from the government team, aims for the Plenary to express its support for the citizens of Ceuta in light of the recent situation at the border.

The proposal calls for scrupulous respect for international law, European regulations, and bilateral agreements between Spain and Morocco, with special reference to the Treaty of Friendship, Good Neighbourliness and Cooperation of 1991 and the 1992 agreement on the readmission of foreigners. It also rejects any use of migratory flows as a political pressure tool between states.

The text urges the Government of Spain to ensure effective protection of the border of Ceuta, as a Spanish and external border of the European Union, providing the State Security Forces with the necessary means. Furthermore, it reaffirms that “Ceuta is Spain” and that its citizens have the same rights as any other Spaniard.

Manolo Barón has reminded that this Wednesday 2 September, at 20:00 hours, a support gathering for Ceuta will be held in the Plaza de la Constitución, next to the Civil Guard Headquarters, at the Puerta de Estepa. The call, promoted by the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP), is open to associations, clubs, collectives, and all citizens.

The mayor also pointed out that on August 3, he sent a communication to the president of the Autonomous City of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, to convey Antequera's solidarity. “Antequera is fulfilling its obligation. We stand with Ceuta and we are defending the democratic values and the rule of law that our Spanish Constitution represents,” he concluded.
