Spanish National Police and Guardia Civil unions are reporting a dramatic influx of North African migrants into the Ceuta enclave, estimating around 12,000 crossings per hour at peak and claiming up to 80,000 may already have entered. A Guardia Civil spokesperson has directly accused the Moroccan government of staging a proxy attack by easing border controls.
Footage circulating shows large groups of people massed along concrete barriers and embankments under clear skies, consistent with coordinated attempts to breach the heavily fortified frontier. Ceuta authorities have declared a humanitarian emergency after thousands arrived in recent days, overwhelming local reception centers and prompting urgent calls for military support and tighter controls from Madrid.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s government continues to downplay the security implications while pledging additional resources. The episode echoes previous border pressures between Spain and Morocco and has intensified political criticism of the central government’s handling of irregular migration.
