Spain turns to social media to discourage irregular entries to Ceuta and Melilla

The Spanish Embassy in Rabat has launched a social media campaign to discourage irregular crossings to the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. The campaign warns that entering Spain irregularly through Ceuta and Melilla does not grant the right to access the Peninsula, stay in Spain, or travel freely in the European Union. The embassy's message, also published in French, is part of a broader institutional campaign by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The campaign comes amid new calls on social media for mass crossings to Ceuta and Melilla, including a planned protest in Rabat on September 20 and a proposed irregular crossing on September 23, coinciding with Morocco's election day.
