The Audiencia Nacional admitted for consideration the contentious-administrative appeal filed by the Sindicato Unificado de Policía against the Ministry of Transport resolution that authorized the installation of a migrant reception facility at the port of Ceuta, according to the union itself and as reported by eldiario.es.

According to that account, the court also ordered Transport to submit the administrative file within an unextendable period of twenty days, a step that allows the ordinary judicial proceedings to continue.

The decision comes after the Audiencia rejected the interim emergency measure requested by the SUP to halt the installation of the camp.

Still according to the union, the Port Authority of Ceuta had initially ruled out that location, considering it incompatible with the normal operation of the port. It also said that Puertos del Estado ultimately issued a favorable report for reasons of general interest, although with warnings about possible risks to port infrastructure, critical facilities and operations.

The SUP added that the Transport resolution contemplated asking Interior for additional resources to reinforce security, something it interpreted as an implicit acknowledgment of the risks of setting up the camp in an area of special sensitivity.

With the facility already in operation, the union said it will seek access to and oversight of the risk assessments, protocols, personnel and resources planned to protect the police officers assigned to the port of Ceuta, according to eldiario.es.
