The Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, publicly acknowledged that intelligence services failed to anticipate the magnitude of the crisis in Ceuta. This crisis involved a massive influx of immigrants through the border between Ceuta and Morocco.
Sánchez admitted that monitoring on social media and the digital world needs to be improved, suggesting this was one of the failures that contributed to the inability to anticipate the events.
The Spanish leader considered that the "intelligent attitude" was taken in response to the situation, although without specifying exactly which measures he was referring to.
The Ceuta crisis exposed gaps in the Spanish government's surveillance and intelligence systems, leading Sánchez to acknowledge the need for improvements in digital monitoring mechanisms.
