Pedro Sánchez claims that a disinformation campaign contributed to the massive arrival of more than 70,000 migrants in Ceuta at the end of July. The Spanish Prime Minister blames networks linked to Russia and Israel, as well as an "ultra-right international" which, according to him, seeks to divide and destabilize Europe.
This mobilization stems from a July 8th ruling by the Spanish Supreme Court that was allegedly misrepresented on Instagram and TikTok. Rumors circulated suggesting that migrants swimming to Ceuta could no longer be deported. Criminal organizations then reportedly exploited these messages to incite thousands of people to cross the border.
Madrid denies any involvement of Morocco
Pedro Sánchez maintains that no evidence gathered by intelligence services demonstrates the involvement of Moroccan authorities. The Prime Minister, on the contrary, defends Rabat's cooperation, despite the suspicions that arose after this mass crossing. Investigations are continuing to precisely identify the networks involved.
The majority of migrants have since returned to Morocco, but approximately 5,000 people are still believed to be in Ceuta, including 1,200 minors. This figure is disputed by local authorities, while protests and incidents are increasing in the enclave. The opposition is now accusing Pedro Sánchez of downplaying a crisis that has become migratory, humanitarian, and political.
