Spain Implements Preventive Measures Against Anticipated Migrant Surge in Ceuta
Spanish authorities are on high alert in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave bordering Morocco, following social media calls for a new mass migration attempt. This comes after a significant event on July 30 and 31, when over 70,000 individuals entered the territory by swimming around the border fence. While most were subsequently returned, several thousand migrants remain in Ceuta. Madrid is now taking preventive measures to avert another large-scale entry, with Spain’s foreign minister maintaining frequent contact with his Moroccan counterpart. Officials are also working to counter what they describe as online disinformation related to these calls for migration. Despite reports suggesting less impact from the latest messages, Ceuta remains on high alert as Spain prepares for potential developments.
