Ceuta clears Trampolín before royal visit
The evacuation of Trampolín Beach in Ceuta trinc three failed attempts and a month of pressure. The operation, involving a larger police deployment than before, coincides with the King's scheduled visit on the 13th and upcoming elections. Authorities report 8,223 voluntary returns and 453 expulsions since August 10, totaling over 9,000 people. The beach is now clean, but questions remain about who pays for the cleanup.
Three attempts and a storm as alibi
The evacuation is not new. A month ago, an attempt failed. Nine days ago, market stalls were dismantled. Now, with reinforced police, the third assault has been executed. Some argue the real reason is the King's arrival on the 13th, wanting to avoid the sight for the royal party. Others point to strong Mediterranean waves, up to two meters, expected on the night of the 9th, as the cause. The coincidence fuels suspicion.
Trash and environmental damage
After the evacuation, mountains of trash and environmental damage remain, taking years to repair. Some compare the area to Chernobyl, questioning how long contamination will last. Trampolín Beach was recently an improvised settlement where hundreds struggled to survive. Now it is a clean lot. The cost of cleaning remains unaccounted for.
Voluntary returns, expulsions, and flight to Segarro
Official data cites 8,223 voluntary returns and 453 expulsions since August 10. Over 9,000 people in total. However, some claim many flee to Segarro or hide in forests to avoid identification. Fingerprinting and photography are unpopular. Speculation suggests actual expulsions are lower than reported, and the flow will continue without resolving the underlying situation. The official figure is one thing; street perception is another.
Elections, royal visit, and image cleanup
Elections and the King's visit coincide. Some joke that "things start working when there are elections." Others argue the evacuation is an image operation: leaving the beach spotless so the royal party sees no dirt. The question is whether the evacuation is permanent or if, as before, occupants will return once police withdraw. Recent history invites skepticism.
The Trampolín Beach evacuation leaves an image of police efficiency and an uncomfortable reality: three attempts in a month, a royal visit on the horizon, and over 9,000 people who are no longer there. If the operation holds, Ceuta closes a chapter. If not, it will be the fourth attempt.
