Concerns Over Safety in Ceuta

I have lived here all my life, I am happy in Ceuta,

but right now the situation we are experiencing is desperate.

There are many television channels

that are showing whatever they want

and I walk around in fear.

Here is a married couple who just had a fight,

they walk past and laugh because we are here talking,

that is what they want, and to scare us.

And this is just not normal,

this is not normal. People just don't want to live on the streets.

Today, when I appeared on TV,

I was on the motorcycle with him and I felt like crying.

I mean, it's helplessness, because they have ruined our city,

they have destroyed it for us, and nobody here is doing anything.

Nobody does anything, and people say, no, it's a lie,

let them come here, let them come here and see it.

This is devastating, it's devastating.

We have a feeling of abandonment and helplessness

that we just can't handle,

because they have destroyed our city,

it's a shame, it's an atrocity.

And on top of that, we are abandoned to the mercy of I don't know what,

because neither the rulers nor the only…

The local government, yes, they have all come together,

but there is just no form of local government,

not even the monarchy, there is just no…

Nobody, we are not backed by anyone.

Now we had to close because it looked like Jumanji,

and the truth is I've never seen the streets like this, with so many people,

you walk down the street and you don't know if they might take something from you,

if they might hit you or if they might…

You walk around with fear, so we are scared.

Original transcript (Spanish)

Yo he vivido aquí toda mi vida, soy feliz en Ceuta, pero ahora mismo la situación que estamos viviendo es desesperante. Son muchos los canales de televisión que están sacando lo que quieren y voy con miedo.

Aquí hay un matrimonio que se acaban de pelear, pasan por aquí y se ríen porque estamos aquí hablando, eso es lo que quieren, y asustarnos. Y es que esto no es normal, esto no es normal. La gente es que no quiere vivir en las calles.

Yo hoy, cuando he salido a la tele, iba en la moto con él y yo tenía ganas de llorar. O sea, es impotencia, porque es que nos han arruinado la ciudad, nos la han destrozado, y aquí nadie hace nada. Nadie hace nada, y la gente dice, no, es mentira,

que vengan aquí, que vengan aquí y lo vean. Esto es desolador, es desolador. Tenemos una sensación de abandono y de impotencia que es que no podemos con ella, porque es que nos han destrozado la ciudad,

es una pena, es una barbaridad. Es que, encima, estamos abandonados a la suerte de no sé qué, porque ni los gobernantes ni el único... El gobierno local, sí, se han juntado todos, pero es que no hay ninguna forma del gobierno local,

ni incluso la monarquía, es que no hay ninguna... Nadie, no estamos respaldados por nadie. Ahora hemos tenido que cerrar porque parecía Yumanji, y la verdad es que nunca he visto las calles así, con tantísima gente, vas por la calle y no sabes si te pueden quitar algo,

si te pueden pegar o si te pueden... Vas como con miedo, entonces estamos asustados.
