Police Chief Responds to Allegations of Moroccan Involvement
Francisco Pardo Piqueras, the Director of the National Police of Spain, has firmly stated that there is no police report attributing the mass entry into Ceuta to Moroccan authorities. This declaration comes in response to inquiries raised by Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, who had requested clarification regarding a supposed police report that allegedly implicated Moroccan security forces in the events of July 30 and 31.
The Ministry of the Interior has confirmed that the alert issued by the National Immigration and Borders Center (CENIF) on July 29 did not include any reference to a potential mass entry. Instead, it categorized the situation as an "infrequent risk alert." The police chief emphasized that the information he provided to the minister was based on direct inquiries made to the general police departments of Information and Immigration and Borders, confirming the absence of any documents that pointed to Moroccan security forces being responsible for the incidents in Ceuta.
Furthermore, Pardo clarified that the judge overseeing the case, María Tardón, had previously ordered investigators not to disclose any information regarding the report's creation or content to their superiors, which explains why he was not aware of its existence prior to the minister's inquiry. This situation has intensified discussions surrounding the ongoing migration crisis in Ceuta and the responsibilities of various authorities involved.
