ABC (España)IndependentConservativeFactual 85Objective 709/2/2026On September 2, 2026, reports emerged suggesting that Moroccan security forces may have been involved in the mass migration into Ceuta during July. The report from Spain’s National Police’s Center for Immigration and Borders (CENIF), shared with Judge María Tardón, points to planned action by Moroccan authorities. This contradicts Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s repeated denial of Moroccan involvement. Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska has requested clarification from Police Director General Francisco Pardo regarding the document’s authenticity and timing. Carlos Herrera, a prominent Spanish commentator, used his show on COPE radio to argue that the report undermines Sánchez’s claims of Morocco being a reliable partner. Herrera emphasized that Morocco had previously prevented such an invasion but now allegedly facilitated it, suggesting a deliberate strategy.

This was his first visit to the Spanish capital since the end of July, during which the city was invaded by Moroccan migrants.

The author argues that labeling the situation as an 'invasion' is overly militaristic and right-leaning, preferring the term 'humanitarian crisis' to highlight the poverty and desperation of those arriving. The piece describes the conditions of migrants in Ceuta, including their lack of food, shelter, and basic necessities, while also mentioning local residents who resist aid efforts by burning stalls and blocking Red Cross supplies. The article references Mónica García, who criticizes the government's framing of the issue.

La VanguardiaIndependentConservativeFactual 70Objective 409/8/2026Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's Popular Party (PP), has warned Morocco that if he becomes prime minister, he would invoke Article 8 of the Spanish Constitution to deploy the military in Ceuta if Morocco attempts to invade the city. This statement comes amid concerns over mass immigration into Ceuta in late July and allegations that Morocco tacitly allowed such an invasion. Feijóo emphasized that the armed forces are responsible for protecting Spain’s territorial integrity under the Constitution. He outlined three main strategies for addressing the situation in Ceuta: strengthening border security through intelligence services, maintaining firm but loyal relations with Morocco while demanding the return of migrants remaining in Ceuta, and using state resources to repatriate migrants in accordance with migration agreements. Additionally, Feijóo stated he would express his stance on Western Sahara in Parliament once he has more information about agreements made by current Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez with Morocco.
