Spanish Police Report: Migrant Influx from Morocco Coordinated by Moroccan Security Forces

Spanish Police Uncover Coordinated Migrant Influx from Morocco

The Spanish police have revealed in a report submitted to the judiciary that between 72,000 and 80,000 migrants, predominantly from Morocco, have entered the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. This alarming surge in migration was reportedly not a spontaneous event; instead, it was orchestrated by members of the Moroccan security apparatus. The police clarified that the influx was not merely a reaction to a misinterpretation of the Supreme Court ruling regarding maritime borders, which states that any migrant reaching Spanish waters by swimming cannot be expelled immediately. The Spanish authorities assert that Morocco’s intention behind this significant movement of people is to invoke historical grievances related to Spain's colonial rule over the cities of Ceuta and Melilla.
