The leader of Ceuta has accused Morocco of facilitating a recent surge in border crossings, describing the situation as an attack on Spain's territorial integrity. Approximately 50,000 individuals crossed into Ceuta, overwhelming the small enclave, with Spain's interior ministry reporting that most were sent back to Morocco. This influx has raised political tensions within the EU, with some member states blaming Spain for the crisis.
Local residents expressed deep concern over the situation, as many migrants faced dire conditions. The crisis has prompted discussions among EU leaders about border security and the potential for misinformation campaigns, particularly from pro-Russian networks, which have been linked to the events unfolding in Ceuta.
