Spanish intelligence services report that Moroccan authorities did not actively authorize the large influx of migrants into Ceuta, but rather permitted it to occur. The assessment suggests a deliberate allowance of the situation—rather than direct orchestration—by Morocco. Furthermore, the Spanish believe Morocco benefitted from the unfolding events. This contrasts with initial reactions that pointed to a breakdown in border control. The findings indicate a calculated move by Morocco, raising questions about the geopolitical implications of the event. The situation has strained relations between Spain and Morocco, prompting calls for answers and a reassessment of cooperation. The mass entry of migrants overwhelmed Ceuta’s border controls earlier this week.
