Gibraltar Chronicle
The Gibraltar Government has expressed its solidarity with the people of Ceuta amid a migration crisis in the city, while reassuring the public that there is presently no cause for alarm in Gibraltar.
Estimates from Ceuta authorities on Friday suggested as many as 60,000 people had entered the Spanish enclave unlawfully in recent days, most on Thursday.
“Where there are reasonable grounds to believe that a person already in Gibraltar has entered unlawfully or has no lawful basis to remain, the authorities will take the appropriate action under Gibraltar law,” No.6 said.
“The Government stresses that there is presently no reason for alarm in Gibraltar.”
“Our law enforcement and border agencies remain alert, coordinated and prepared to respond to any unlikely consequences arising from this emergency.”
