Not enough security forces and immigration officials have been deployed in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, the mayor Juan Jesus Vivas said on Thursday, almost a week after tens of thousands of migrants rushed through the border from Morocco.
"Security forces have not been deployed with the intensity required by the situation we are still facing," he told a committee in the European Parliament. "Immigration services have not been sufficiently reinforced to handle the border rejections," he added.
