Spanish courts probe Ceuta migration

Spanish judicial authorities have launched an official investigation into the entry of tens of thousands of migrants into the Ceuta enclave in North Africa at the end of July. The investigation is based on evidence indicating an "undeniable directed facilitation operation" from the Moroccan side. Judge María Tardón confirmed that the events may involve legal violations related to Spain’s safety and sovereignty, noting that migrant flows represent a method of multi-faceted warfare that has led to the collapse of border monitoring capabilities and a breach of sovereignty. According to a leaked report from the Spanish police, it has been established that the entry of more than 70,000 people was not accidental, and there is evidence of an organized process by Morocco to cross the border. The evidence shows that Moroccan security forces exhibited leniency and directly directed the migrants. Nonetheless, the government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez denies having conclusive evidence that Morocco encouraged the mass flow, while Moroccan media considered the report biased and insufficiently supported by evidence. The incident resulted in the death of over 83 people during an attempt to cross the waters. The situation in the region remains tense, with Ceuta residents calling for the expulsion of the migrants.
