The sudden influx of tens of thousands of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta was not a spontaneous event, but rather a movement openly encouraged and planned online for weeks. Social media platforms were filled with tips and misinformation aimed at facilitating travel to Europe, framing the journey as achievable. Messaging actively promoted the idea that reaching “the West” was a simple swim across a short distance. This pre-planned nature of the surge has led to heightened suspicion within Spain regarding Morocco’s involvement. The ease with which the operation was coordinated online raises concerns about monitoring and controlling migration-related activities. European officials were reportedly caught off guard by the scale of the event, despite its prior promotion. Authorities are now investigating the extent of online coordination and potential complicity.
