The massive assault on Ceuta was “an organised operation and not a spontaneous movement”

The irruption of 72,000 people into Ceuta from Morocco on July 30 and 31 was "a deliberately organized operation, built with a purpose and directed, and not a spontaneous popular movement or an accidental social contagion". This is what an investigation by Golden Owl, a startup linked to the University of Alicante's Science Park, concludes after analyzing the activity of Moroccan social networks, which was especially intense between July 24 and 30.

"It was a coordinated, pre-constituted and advertised operation, executed like a distributed network through a coordination nucleus, a public diffusion surface on Facebook that exceeds one million declared members and dozens of pre-constituted self-assembled cells", it emphasizes. "The desperation [of young Moroccans] is real and it's the fuel that burns the operation, but the fuel is not the engine", it underlines.
