The migratory pressure on Ceuta could soon see a significant new date highlighted on the calendar. Various groups and forums are reportedly disseminating fresh calls for attempts to cross from Morocco to the autonomous city on **September 23**, based on the latest information that has come to light.
This date is not coincidental; **September 23 coincides with the legislative elections in Morocco**, a day when Moroccan citizens are invited to the polls to elect **395 members of the House of Representatives**. According to intelligence sources cited by _AS_, messages encouraging a new attempt to breach Ceuta's borders have been detected on digital forums, although the expected intensity of this mobilization is likely to be less than that observed at the end of July. Reports indicate that it is primarily young individuals who are issuing these calls, designating September 23 as a new target date for attempting access to the city.
Sources consulted by this news outlet assert that the information regarding this call has a certain level of reliability, although it could also represent a **“war of attrition” strategy**. At present, there is no confirmation of a forthcoming mass entry nor any assurance that the call will materialize, but the date has certainly been noted on the calendar.
September 23: A Significant Electoral Day in Morocco
The selected date is particularly significant within the political calendar of the neighboring country. **The Moroccan legislative elections will take place on September 23**, marking the sixth such elections during King Mohamed VI's reign. The official electoral campaign will commence on **September 10** and conclude on September 22, just hours before the election day.
These elections will determine the **395 representatives** of the House of Representatives, which is the lower chamber of the Moroccan Parliament. The current chamber is controlled by a coalition led by Prime Minister **Aziz Akhannouch**. The political and social context of the country has also been discussed in light of this call, with significant challenges including **issues such as immigration, youth unemployment, and economic prospects**. Notably, the **Justice and Development Party (PJD)**, one of the main opposition parties, has demanded an investigation into the exodus towards Ceuta.
Social Media: A Key Element in Mobilization Calls
The potential call for September 23 comes on the heels of the pivotal role that **social media and messaging applications** have played in previous movements observed during the migratory crisis. Just prior to the mass entry on **July 27**, this outlet confirmed the existence of public Facebook groups utilized to share information related to potential irregular entries into Ceuta.
One such group, named **'Hraga Ceuta'**, had amassed over **20,000 members** at that time. Its posts featured Google Maps screenshots detailing measurements of distances in the pier area and along the coast, as well as content related to sea conditions, coastal photographs, and materials used for crossings. Among the publications were advertisements for the sale of **diving fins**, alongside user inquiries about the situation at the border and Castillejos prior to embarking on a potential crossing.
Weeks later, new mobilization calls appeared on social media and messaging services on **August 15**. This time, various captures indicated **15/08/2026** as a new date for attempting to cross from Morocco to Ceuta. The messages, primarily written in Darija, referred to **Castillejos (Fnideq) and Ceuta**, encouraging interested parties to join messaging groups. Some posts used expressions like '**Our last opportunity**', while others referred to a gathering for that day. One particular capture claimed that approximately **1,000 people** had joined one of those groups, even announcing the creation of a second group.
Now, the renewed focus on **September 23** arises after the most significant migratory crisis experienced recently in Ceuta, triggered by the mass entry recorded on **July 30 and 31**. In the days leading up to that crisis, messages, videos, and audios encouraging gatherings in the Castillejos area to attempt access to Ceuta had already begun circulating on social media. This mobilization culminated in a mass entry through various coastal points, particularly at the Tarajal pier, placing immense pressure on the city and prompting an extraordinary deployment of the **National Police, Civil Guard, Army, and emergency services**.
With the memories and consequences of those events still fresh, **September 23** reemerges as a potentially pivotal date for mobilization in certain channels. Current information suggests a scenario of **less intensity than that witnessed at the end of July**, although consulted sources also entertain the possibility that these movements are part of a strategy aimed at maintaining pressure and attrition.
