Migration crisis in Ceuta: police report points to Moroccan involvement and shakes Sánchez government

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 13:01

A migration crisis hit Ceuta, the Spanish enclave in northern Africa, resulting in a mass entry of migrants. A police report indicates that Moroccan agents were responsible for facilitating this entry, which constitutes a serious allegation regarding Morocco's involvement.

This revelation deeply shook Pedro Sánchez's government, the Spanish Prime Minister. The executive was confronted with a delicate diplomatic situation, as the implication of Morocco represents a potential political incident between the two countries.

The Spanish Minister of the Interior demanded explanations from the Director General of the National Police, asking him to reveal how long he had known about the information pointing to Moroccan agents' responsibility in facilitating the entry of migrants.

The minister's request for clarification comes in a context of growing pressure on the Sánchez government to explain how the crisis occurred and what the real role of Moroccan authorities was in it.
