Point 1
Spanishness and Territorial Integrity
Ceuta is an integral and indisputable part of Spain, exactly on the same footing as Melilla, Madrid, Granada, León or Valencia. Its status as a city of the Spanish State is unquestionable and forms the non-negotiable foundation on which our coexistence and identity are built.
Point 2
Unconditional Respect for Human Rights
We defend human rights firmly and without negotiation. Respect, dignity and adequate care must be guaranteed both for those who entered the city irregularly and for the citizens of Ceuta themselves. Both groups deserve the utmost respect, protection and civic consideration.
Point 3
Accompanied, Safe and Priority Return
For all these reasons, and safeguarding the exceptional cases that require special protection under strict humanitarian law, we request the accompaniment and immediate management of the return to their countries of origin of all displaced persons as soon as possible, through safe, coordinated procedures with full legal guarantees.
Point 4
European Border and Security for Families
We demand that the State urgently increase human, technical and material resources to prevent this situation from happening again. The people of Ceuta need and deserve the peace of mind of walking with their families through streets, squares and parks in complete safety. To achieve this, it is essential to act in Ceuta understanding that its border perimeter is, in every sense, the southern border of Europe.
Point 5
Comprehensive Resource Plan for Economic and Social Normality
We call for an extraordinary package of measures and public resources for the city to address the harm suffered by local commerce, hospitality and public services. It is urgent to introduce support programmes for local businesses, strengthen health services to correct their historic deficit, increase administrative staff to clear bureaucratic backlogs, and guarantee dignified conditions of care.
PorCeuta document
Declaration for the return to normality
This is PorCeuta's own declaration. For coordinated readings at rallies, both initiatives will use the Ceuta Nos Une manifesto.
We gather here today, as neighbors and as Spaniards, to raise our voices for Ceuta. We are not here to single anyone out for their origin, nor to serve any party, union or faith. We come to say, calmly and firmly, that Ceuta needs to return to normality, and that normality begins by recovering the security, services and coexistence that every Spanish city deserves.
Ceuta is Spain. Ceuta is an integral and indisputable part of Spain, on the same footing as any other city in the national territory. Its Spanishness is not up for debate: it is the non-negotiable foundation of our coexistence and our identity.
Human rights, always. We firmly and non-negotiably defend human rights and dignified treatment for all people. But that respect cannot mean the resignation of an entire city. The people of Ceuta also have rights: to security, to healthcare, to education, and to walk with their families through streets, squares and parks without fear.
Return of those who entered illegally. We demand that all those who entered the city illegally —safeguarding the exceptional cases that require protection under strict humanitarian law— be returned to their countries of origin as soon as possible, through safe, coordinated procedures with full legal guarantees. They cannot remain here. This demand is not hatred: it is law, it is common sense, and it is the only way for Ceuta to return to normality.
Ceuta's border is Europe's border. We demand that the State urgently increase human, technical and material resources so this situation never happens again. And we call for a comprehensive resource plan to repair the harm done to the city's commerce, hospitality and public services.
The people of Ceuta ask for no more than anyone else, but we accept no less. We demand the same resources, services and level of protection as any other Spanish city. For Ceuta and for Spain!
A citizen commitment to Ceuta and to Spain
In short, the people of Ceuta ask for no more than anyone else, but we accept no less: we demand the same resources, services and level of protection as any other Spanish city.
This declaration belongs to and serves no political party, union or faith. It is a cross-cutting, independent citizen initiative addressed to all political representatives — whatever their party — demanding a firm commitment to work together to restore normality in our city and, by extension, throughout Spain.
