Spain PM Pedro Sanchez rules out Moroccan role in Ceuta migrant surge

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez denied any Moroccan involvement in the recent surge of over 70,000 migrants entering the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco. Sánchez stated that Spanish intelligence and police had not anticipated the scale of the crisis and emphasized ongoing investigations into the cause. While most migrants returned to Morocco, thousands remain in Ceuta without proper shelter. Sánchez rejected claims that Morocco used migration as political leverage, advocating for cooperation with Morocco instead of distrust. He also accused far-right groups and trafficking networks of spreading disinformation about migrant treatment and legal status. The situation has intensified political tensions in Spain, with conservative parties and the far right pushing for stricter immigration policies. Sánchez announced new resources, including 6,000 reception center spots and €168 million in aid, to address the crisis.
