The Spanish Embassy in Rabat has alerted its government about a potential mass crossing of illegal Moroccan migrants into the city of Ceuta next Wednesday, coinciding with legislative elections in Morocco, according to various Spanish media outlets.

The newspaper "El Confidencial" reported that sources within the Spanish government indicated that the embassy's internal advisory had detected social media posts encouraging Moroccans to cross the border into Ceuta, suggesting that the upcoming elections might distract Moroccan security forces from monitoring the borders effectively.

The same source mentioned that the Spanish government was informed of these developments last Thursday, with some messages characterizing the election day as an "extraordinary opportunity" to circumvent security measures and replicate the mass influx witnessed in Ceuta on July 30 and 31 of the previous year.

Media reports have pointed out that the circulating calls for illegal migration are directed towards both Ceuta and Melilla, although the majority of the focus appears to be on Ceuta. The embassy's internal advisory has also warned of a potential increase in the volume of these posts as the date of September 23 approaches.

This information comes amidst a backdrop of similar calls that have circulated on social media, including posts from August urging attempts to cross the border into Ceuta again.

Recently, the Spanish government released 40 documents, reports, and correspondence related to the mass influx of migrants into Ceuta in late July, including documents from the Spanish National Intelligence Center (CNI), the Civil Guard, the National Police, and the Armed Forces Intelligence Center (CIFAS). These documents provide a clear timeline of the information available prior to the unprecedented mass migration and outline how Moroccan authorities responded to the situation.

One of these documents revealed that Spanish intelligence issued a direct warning on July 29 to Moroccan intelligence agencies DGST and DGED regarding calls to cross into Ceuta, both by land and by sea, the following day.

In the early hours of July 30, the intelligence indicators began to materialize into reality, as the Spanish intelligence center reported that Moroccan authorities did not take action to contain the situation after losing control, while hundreds of individuals had attempted to reach Ceuta by swimming the night before.
