Sánchez accused Israel and Russia of spreading disinformation about refugees entering Ceuta

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez accused Russia and Israel of spreading disinformation related to the mass influx of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta last month. He cited a report by the European External Action Service (EEAS), stating that both countries used the crisis to criticize Spain’s stance on wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. Sánchez claimed false narratives spread on social media platforms linked to Russia and Israel suggested that Spain could not return people who arrived by sea back to Morocco. He emphasized there was no evidence linking Moroccan authorities to the migrant crisis and stated that resolving the situation requires cooperation with Morocco rather than fostering distrust. Spain plans to allocate an additional €168 million to boost Ceuta’s economy, equivalent to 8% of its GDP. Over 72,000 people entered Ceuta illegally from Morocco last month, though most have been returned, leaving between 5,000 and 8,000 migrants remaining, many living on the streets.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the migration crisis in Ceuta as being exacerbated by disinformation campaigns from Russia and Israel, which are portrayed as having ulterior motives tied to geopolitical conflicts. The narrative emphasizes cooperation with Morocco and criticizes the 'international far-right' for煽
