Ceuta is measured against migratory pressures of a scale comparable to the number of inhabitants of the city. According to Juan Jesús Vivas, the Spanish enclave border exceeded 60,000 people, equivalent to 70% of its population. At least 34 people died. Behind the figures lies the human tragedy and the question of the state's work for the tightness of the border and security.
The scale is almost equal to the city
Juan Jesús Vivas, president of Ceuta, reported that the number of people crossing the Spanish enclave in North Africa had reached 60,000. According to Bankier.pl, this is equivalent to 70 percent of the city's population. This proportion shows the burden to be faced by a tiny territory on the external border of Spain.
In this information the most serious remains the death balance. At least 34 people died. The available communication does not describe the circumstances of these tragedies, so they must not be shared or utilized to build sensations. Each of these deaths reminds us that disorderly migration poses a real danger to people who are on their way, and a large work to the border guards.
Border is simply a national duty
Ceuta lies in North Africa, but remains part of Spain. For this reason, force on her border is wider than the local one. A country that cannot control entry into its own territory loses its ability to conduct a sound safety policy and to accept people according to clear rules. The costs of specified negligence are borne by residents, servants and migrants themselves.
Responsible policies must not be moved by another tragedy. Effective border protection, efficient procedures and measures are needed to curb human trafficking. Humanitarian aid should defend life, but must not replace the decision of the State on who and on what grounds crosses its border. Human dignity and legal order are not on other sides.
Warning besides for Poland
For Poland the rate is clear. The external border of the state is not an abstract line on the map. The safety of citizens, the efficiency of services and the control of social costs depend on its protection. Ceuta's experience shows how rapidly the scale of force can become disproportionate to the opportunities of the local community.
Europe needs a policy that combines life protection with law enforcement. beginning routes without control is not humane. It leads to a situation where migrants are at risk, border cities are overloaded and the state gives the initiative to smugglers. The tragic balance of Ceuta should prompt the rulers to act before further numbers become more victims.
