# Thousands march in Ceuta to defend Spanish identity

20 September 2026 at 13:22

> Protesters gathered at the Tarajal border to demand European protection and criticise the government following a migrant influx in Ceuta.

Several thousand people marched through **Ceuta** at midday on 20 September 2026, moving from the Chorrillo esplanade to the Tarajal border. Organised by the Provincial Federation of Neighborhood Associations, the demonstration defended the city's Spanish identity.

Protesters, including hundreds of motorcyclists and a majority of women, carried Spanish and EU flags while chanting for the expulsion of invaders. The march passed the Príncipe district under heavy police guard to reach the site of a recent migrant influx.

At the border, a manifesto was read demanding European protection and criticising the Spanish government. The protest follows the failure of a sea barrier installed in July, which was found broken near the Tarajal breakwater due to recent wind and wave action.
