Protests In Madrid Against The CIEs: A Call For Human Rights And Migration Reform

Thousands of protesters gather in Madrid, Spain, on December 30, 2025, to demonstrate against the CIEs (Centers for the Identification and Detention of Foreign Nationals), facilities where irregular migrants are held pending deportation. These centers, located in various cities across Spain such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Algeciras, are criticized for poor living conditions and prolonged detention periods. The protesters call for the closure of the CIEs and a reform of migration policies to ensure the respect of human dignity and fundamental rights for all individuals.
