King Meets With Ceuta President

King Felipe met late last week with Juan Jesús Vivas Lara, president of the Autonomous City of Ceuta, which saw thousands of Moroccan migrants break into the North African enclave in recent weeks.

Even though many of them have gone back, the situation remains a political crisis in Spain. King Felipe has spoken about the gravity of the situation.

The King met with Ceuta’s president at Marivent Palace in Palma de Mallorca. The King would like to visit Ceuta, but royal visits there are politically sensitive because Morocco claims the city, which — like Melilla — have been part of Spain for hundreds of years.
