Spanish PM denies Morocco's role in Ceuta migrant influx

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has firmly denied Morocco's involvement in the recent influx of approximately 80,000 migrants into the Spanish city of Ceuta. Speaking in an interview with Cadena SER radio, Sánchez stated that he had received no indications from Spanish security forces or intelligence agencies that Morocco played any role in the mass arrival of refugees.

The Prime Minister emphasized that ongoing investigations into the crisis are still underway, while cautioning about the spread of rumors and misinformation on social media, particularly following a recent Supreme Court ruling. This decision banned the immediate return of migrants who had swum to Ceuta. Sánchez also pointed out that criminal organizations and international far-right groups have capitalized on the situation, using migration issues to attack Spain and Europe.

Additionally, he mentioned that Russia and Israel have been spreading disinformation about the Ceuta crisis.
