Spanish police blame Moroccan agents for migrant crisis in Ceuta

In late July 2021, Ceuta, a Spanish exclave, experienced an unprecedented influx of over 70,000 migrants from Morocco. While most were quickly returned, thousands remained, leading to a humanitarian crisis. Spain's National Police later accused Moroccan agents of orchestrating the invasion, contradicting Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's claims of foreign disinformation. The situation has sparked political tensions in Spain and raised concerns over immigration policies and border security.
