Spain declassifies a document showing that Morocco was warned of migrant crossing plans

The Spanish government has declassified secret intelligence documents revealing that Moroccan authorities were warned ahead of time about social media calls for a mass border crossing into Ceuta. The declassification of these messages has triggered a fresh political crisis and storm for the administration of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

The episode centers on a significant migratory avalanche involving tens of thousands of people crossing into Ceuta, an event that resulted in substantial casualties, with reports noting over 100 deaths. While the newly public documents show the Spanish intelligence service alerted Morocco regarding the planned border éxodus, the political fallout has intensified as the opposition argues the records demonstrate that authorities failed to adequately act despite prior warnings.
