El asalto multitudinario a Ceuta fue “una operación organizada y no un movimiento espontáneo”

On July 30 and 31, approximately 72,000 individuals crossed the border from Morocco to Ceuta. According to an investigation conducted by Golden Owl, a startup affiliated with the University of Alicante's Scientific Park, this influx was "a deliberately organized operation with a purpose and direction, not a spontaneous popular movement or an accidental social contagion".

The study analyzed social media activity in Morocco, particularly between July 24 and 30. Golden Owl concludes that the operation was "coordinated, pre-constituted, and publicized, executed as a distributed network through a core of coordination, a public surface for dissemination on Facebook that exceeds one million declared members, and dozens of pre-constituted self-assembling cells".

The source emphasizes that while "the desperation [of Moroccan youth] is real and it fuels the operation, the fuel is not the engine".
