Morocco's Ministry of Interior officially explained the reasons for the mass influx of migrants into Spanish Ceuta last week, Bild writes.

The first reason is false information on social media. The influx of migrants arose spontaneously, a ministry representative stated. Many migrants told Spanish media that they learned about the supposedly open border through videos and messages on platforms like TikTok.

The second reason, according to the Moroccan ministry, is an incorrect interpretation of a Spanish court ruling, according to which migrants detained at sea can no longer be immediately returned.

At the same time, Morocco reaffirmed its commitment to combating illegal migration.

However, this statement is contradicted by data from Spanish security forces, according to which Moroccan border guards withdrew from the border with Ceuta shortly before the mass border crossing. According to Spanish media reports, several migrants independently stated that they were not stopped, but on the contrary — were encouraged to cross the border.

More than two thousand people have not yet returned to Morocco. The situation on the coast of Ceuta is reported to have stabilized.

“Almost all who arrived in Ceuta have by now returned to Morocco,” wrote Spain's Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, on social network X.

According to data from Spain's Ministry of Interior, around two and a half thousand Moroccan citizens are still in Ceuta. Bild correspondent Dmitry Soybel also reported that hundreds of migrants remain in the Spanish enclave.

    1. Гэта праўда, што сацыялістычны ўрад спрасціў нелегальным мігрантам магчымасць застацца і пазней легалізавацца.

    2. Ані слова пра помсту ЗША і Ізраіля, цікава.

    3. Цікава, ці ў гэтым выпадку, нелегалам дапамагалі левыя актывісты НДА, як гэта было ў выпадку Італіі ці на мажы з Беларусью.

    Сапраўдныя прычыны пералічыў у кароткім роліку на Ютубе ўкраінскі палітолаг Віталь Портнікаў:
    1.Старая тэрытарыяльная спрэчка паміж Марока і Іспаніяй за Сеуту і Меліллю.
    2.Пацяпленне паміж афіцыйным Мадрыдам і Алжырам, які не вызнае суверэнітэту Марока над Заходняй Сахарай.
    3.Пацяпленне стасункаў паміж Марока і ЗША праз прызнанне Трампам суверэнітэту Марока над Заходняй Сахарай на фоне ахалоджвання стасункаў паміж Іспаніяй і ЗША. У гэтых умовах улады Марока вырашылі зладзіць гібрыдную міграцыйную атаку на Сеуту, каб націснуць на Мадрыд.
