Morocco blames Ceuta migration influx on social media, human trafficking
Moroccan authorities attribute the recent surge of around 60,000 migrants entering the Spanish enclave of Ceuta to misinformation spread on social media and the activities of human‑trafficking networks rather than spontaneous factors. The Moroccan Interior Ministry linked the influx to misinterpretations of a Spanish Supreme Court ruling that limits immediate deportations for sea‑arriving migrants, which they say were amplified by trafficking groups. The incident has sparked political criticism in Spain, with opposition leaders demanding stricter border controls and accusing Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of inadequate response.
- ▪Morocco’s interior ministry stated that digital misinformation and trafficking networks drove the Ceuta migration surge.

- ▪Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez acknowledged the role of trafficking mafias but faced criticism from far‑right leader Santiago Abascal.
- ▪Spain deployed military personnel to Ceuta and political parties called for harsher border policies.
