Spanish intelligence warned of ‘mass entry’ day before 70k reached Ceuta

Spanish intelligence services issued formal warnings regarding a potential mass border crossing into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta one day before approximately 70,000 individuals arrived at the territory. Declassified documents indicate that authorities had identified specific social media campaigns actively encouraging a large-scale breach of the border prior to the event.

The intelligence reports served as an early alert system, highlighting the mobilization efforts that preceded the influx. These findings underscore the role of digital coordination in the mass migration event and provide insight into the government's prior awareness of the security challenge.
