Breaking news on the entry of immigrants into Ceuta, live | Albares blames the “reactionary international” and considers disinformation to be the key element of the crisis in Ceuta

Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares believes that disinformation was the "key element" that triggered the massive entry of migrants into the autonomous city of Ceuta last Thursday. "There was a synchronization of the international reactionary forces that very quickly came out to amplify what was happening and also to spread lies and false news about the Schengen area," he denounced on TVE.

The Foreign Minister has assured that Spain "will demand" solidarity from European partners at the meeting of the 27 EU Interior Ministers and the European Commission on Tuesday. Furthermore, the minister has reiterated that Morocco has collaborated to resolve the crisis "from the first moment".

The Moroccan Government acknowledged last night that at least 11 people have died on its coast during the irregular entry of several tens of thousands of immigrants into Ceuta last Thursday. Spanish authorities have put the number of migrants who arrived in the autonomous city at over 50,000, while Morocco puts the figure at 40,000.

There are also different official figures regarding the deceased: the latest balance from the central Government puts the figure at 72, while Ceuta authorities place the number of bodies recovered from the water that have already been transferred to their morgue at 88.
