Interior Ministry: Sidi Bou Said and Melilla Incidents Not Spontaneous
The Ministry of Interior confirmed that the recent events at the crossings in the cities of Ceuta and Melilla were not spontaneous but resulted from multiple factors, most notably the misleading exploitation of the digital space, the activity of human trafficking networks, and incorrect interpretations of laws that led some to believe they could reach Europe easily and without consequences. Proactive operations were conducted by authorities to monitor the situation, resulting in the prevention of approximately 40,000 people from reaching Ceuta and 1,135 to Melilla, with all those who arrived in Melilla being returned. The ministry reported ten deaths by drowning and one by fall, and affirmed that reports of other fatalities are being verified in coordination with Moroccan authorities. Judicial investigations have also been opened to clarify the circumstances and identify those responsible, aiming to combat illegal immigration and human trafficking comprehensively, while continuing efforts to protect the borders and maintain public order.
