Intelligence services conclude that Rabat allowed and used the human surge over Ceuta, but did not plan it.

The Moncloa has not convened the crisis cabinet, despite describing what happened as a “violation of territorial integrity”.

Intelligence services conclude that Rabat allowed and used the human surge over Ceuta, but did not plan it.

The irruption of tens of thousands of Moroccan immigrants into Ceuta, which has left almost a hundred dead trying to swim across the border and has profoundly destabilized coexistence in the Spanish city in North Africa, was not planned by the Moroccan authorities. However, not only did they not put a stop to the human tide heading for Tarajal, but they cleared the way for it and have politically profited from the international repercussions of the event.

That is the conclusion reached by Spanish intelligence services after analyzing a crisis that caught a government preoccupied with forest fires and trusting in its southern neighbor off guard.
