"We feel very comforted, we feel very recognized and very represented in his words," he emphasized.

In opposition to the calm on the diplomatic front, the Government has pending to resolve the repatriation of unaccompanied minors who arrived in Ceuta "en masse" in May and paralyzed by court order.

"Logically we will respond to any of the requirements that the courts pose to us," Sanchez settled.
