National Police transfers migrants in Ceuta, Spain, to Los Rosales. We examine the cost and economic impact of migration management.

English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

Managing migrant camps in Ceuta, such as the transfer to Los Rosales, involves significant logistical and infrastructure costs for the Spanish state.

## The logistics of the transfer

The **National Police** have carried out the transfer of migrants from **Loma Colmenar** to a new camp in **Los Rosales**, in **Ceuta**. This kind of logistical operation, although necessary to manage migration flows, requires a considerable mobilisation of public resources. It involves personnel, vehicles and coordination between different administrations. The aim is to organise a response to the arrival of people, seeking to establish minimum conditions of habitability and safety.

## The cost of reception

Receiving migrants, especially in situations of mass arrivals, has a direct economic impact. The associated costs include not only transport and temporary accommodation, but also the provision of basic services such as healthcare, food and, at times, legal advice. The European Union, through specific funds, usually co-finances part of these operations, but ultimate responsibility lies with the member state. The exact figure of the cost per person or per operation of this kind is rarely made public in detail.
