官员们表示，截至周日，进入西班牙飞地休达的6万名北非移民中的大部分已被遣返回摩洛哥，但这个小型飞地仍笼罩着阴影。
休达的商铺重新营业，这座拥有8.4万人口的城市恢复了往常居民和游客混杂的景象，露天平台、餐厅和咖啡馆座无虚席。
但这座自诩为四种文化交汇之地的城市，仍在应对此次边境涌入事件的余波，当地人就事件起因和具体责任人各执一词。与此同时，西班牙国民警卫队的船只仍在这片城市海滩附近水域搜寻移民遗体，几天前正是这里被移民突破。
边境涌入事件重燃欧洲移民辩论
西班牙当局周日表示，此次事件至少造成72人死亡，其中有人溺水身亡，另有多人在穿越防波堤屏障的踩踏事件中丧生。这场由人员突然涌入引发的人道主义危机，重新点燃了欧洲乃至全球范围内的移民辩论。
“这不是年轻男性的错，”44岁的穆罕默德·阿卜杜勒卡德尔·德里斯说道，他是镇上一家炸鱼餐厅的服务员。“如果边境开放，所有人都会涌进来，但年轻男性不该被指责。当局才应该负责。”

一些返回摩洛哥的移民称边境实际上已对外开放，并称当局在数千人越境时几乎无所作为。西班牙表示计划修建隔离围栏。
周四和周五共有5万至6万名未经授权的移民入境，其中大多为年轻男性，这使休达的人口增长了一半以上。阿卜杜勒卡德尔对事件表示惋惜，但称那些突破边境的人表现相对良好。
“情况本可能更糟，”他说。
极右翼政客呼吁驱逐剩余移民
周末期间，西班牙极右翼反移民政客和知名右翼网红涌入该市，引发了包括该市大量穆斯林裔居民在内的群体发起的反抗议活动。
极右翼西班牙政客、欧洲议会议员阿尔维塞·佩雷斯周六晚间呼吁驱逐移民，当时他遭到了愤怒的反对抗议者的包围。佩雷斯最终不得不躲进一家酒吧躲避，当地居民敲打着酒吧窗户，直到警察将他护送离开。
周六的反抗议者中包括20岁的休达居民、学生努尔·艾哈迈德。她谴责了抗议活动以及佩雷斯等人出现在她的城市的行为，称其为投机主义。

“他们只是想利用休达目前正在经历的人道主义危机牟利，”艾哈迈德说道。
极右翼呼声党领袖圣地亚哥·阿瓦斯卡尔周日到访休达，抨击西班牙政府应对移民入境激增不力，他将此次事件称为“入侵”。
“休达和梅利利亚的边境是我们家园和祖国的围墙，但一个腐败且叛国的政府却没有守护它们，”他说道。
休达的宽容传统面临压力
一些当地人尽管承认休达的居民包括基督徒、穆斯林、犹太人和印度教徒，平时相处相对和谐，但仍对本周暴露的城市问题感到担忧。
在一家物流公司工作的休达居民伊娃·巴列霍斯周六晚间参加了抗议活动，想听听佩雷斯和其他右翼人士的说法。她确信类似事件还会重演，并质疑休达一些外籍居民对西班牙的忠诚度。
“在休达，我们一直和睦共处。四种文化的人相处得非常融洽，没有任何问题，”她说。“但我们现在唯一意识到的是，内部存在敌人。”
她指责一些外籍居民对摩洛哥的忠诚度高于他们所居住的国家。
教皇利奥十四世周日表示，他“正关切地关注着休达的严峻局势，祈求上帝……找到和平、稳定与正义的解决方案”。
移民问题一直是教皇利奥的优先议题之一，他最近在西班牙加那利群岛访问期间强调了这一点，该群岛是欧洲主要的移民入境港口之一。
Ceuta grapples with aftermath of massive border surge after most migrants leave territory
August 2, 2026 / 9:08 AM EDT / CBS/AP
Most of the 60,000 North African migrants who entered the Spanish territory of Ceuta had been returned to Morocco by Sunday, officials said, but a cloud remains over the tiny enclave.
Shops in Ceuta reopened, and the usual blend of residents and tourists in the city of 84,000 were filling the open-air terraces, restaurants and cafes.
But the city that prides itself on being home to four cultures was still grappling with the aftermath of the border surge, with locals disagreeing on what caused it and who exactly is to blame. Meanwhile, Spanish civil guard ships continued searching for migrant bodies in the waters near the stretch of urban beach that had been breached by people days earlier.
Border surge breathes new life into Europe’s immigration debate
At least 72 people died, including some who drowned and others who were killed in a stampede to cross a breakwater barrier, Spanish authorities said Sunday. The humanitarian crisis caused by the sudden rush of people has reignited a debate around immigration in Europe and beyond.
“It’s not the young men’s fault,” said Mohamad Abdelkader Driss, 44, a waiter at a fried fish restaurant in town. “If you open the border, of course everyone comes in, but the young men aren’t to blame. The authorities are responsible.”

Some migrants who returned to Morocco described a border that was effectively open and said authorities did little as they watched thousands of people cross. Spain says it plans to construct a containment fence.
The unauthorized arrivals on Thursday and Friday of 50,000 to 60,000, mostly young men, swelled Ceuta’s population by more than half. Abdelkader lamented what happened, but said those who breached the border behaved relatively well.
“It could have been much worse,” he said.
Far-right politicians call for remaining migrants to be expelled
Over the weekend, far-right, anti-immigrant Spanish politicians and well-known right-wing influencers descended on the city, sparking counterprotests that included members of the Spanish city’s large Muslim population, many of whom are of Moroccan descent.
Alvise Pérez, a far-right Spanish politician and member of the European Parliament, called on Saturday evening for migrants to be expelled as he faced an angry crowd of rival protesters. Pérez eventually had to shelter in a bar as residents banged on the windows, until police escorted him away.
Among the counterprotesters on Saturday was 20-year-old Ceuta resident and student Noor Ahmed. She denounced the protest and presence of figures like Pérez in her city as opportunistic.

“They just want to take advantage of the humanitarian crisis Ceuta is currently experiencing,” Ahmed said.
Santiago Abascal, the leader of the far-right Vox party, visited Ceuta on Sunday, slamming the Spanish government for the surge in migrant arrivals, which he called “an invasion.”
“The frontiers of Ceuta and Melilla are the walls of our home and homeland, and they are not being protected by a corrupt and traitorous government,” he said.
Ceuta’s tradition of tolerance comes under strain
Some locals, even acknowledging Ceuta’s population of Christians, Muslims, Jews and Hindus that normally live in relative harmony, worried about what the week revealed about the city.
Eva Barrientos, a resident of Ceuta who works at a logistics company, came to the protest on Saturday evening to see what Pérez and the other right-wing figures had to say. She was confident that something similar would happen again and questioned the loyalty that some of Ceuta’s foreign-born residents had to Spain.
“In Ceuta, we have always lived together. We have four cultures living very well, without any problems,” she said. “But the only thing we are realizing now is that there is an enemy within.”
She accused some foreign-born residents of having more loyalty to Morocco than the country in which they lived.
Pope Leo XIV on Sunday said he was “following with concern the alarming situation in Ceuta, asking God … that solutions of peace, stability and justice may be found.”
Migration has been one of Pope Leo’s priorities, which he underlined during a recent visit to the Canary Islands in Spain, one of Europe’s main migrant entry ports.
