Moroccan Ministry Cites Misinformation on Ceuta and Melilla
The Moroccan Ministry of Interior confirmed that the events involving irregular migration in Ceuta and Melilla were not spontaneous, but rather the result of misinformation campaigns and the activities of human trafficking networks, along with misinterpretations of legal frameworks that encouraged illegal migration. It indicated that approximately 40,000 individuals attempted to cross into Ceuta, and 1,135 into Melilla, with all those who reached Melilla being returned to their countries based on accurate field data. The events were also influenced by Spanish judicial decisions that limited immediate repatriations, leading to new attempts to cross via swimming. These efforts resulted in one accidental death and 10 drownings, as participants underestimated the risks of crossing due to the short distance and ease of water passage. Meanwhile, judicial investigations and verification of the alleged deaths are ongoing, with Morocco emphasizing its commitment to international cooperation in combating illegal migration and human trafficking.
