Spanish government insists it was not warned about the arrival of the migrant wave in Ceuta

Euronews Portugal10 September 2026 at 06:14

The Spanish government reiterated that the Spanish intelligence agency did not foresee the scale of the migrant arrivals in Ceuta. Spanish intelligence only warned of an "attempted entry," not the magnitude that ultimately occurred with the migration crisis in the Spanish city in North Africa.

The Spanish opposition contested the government's management of the situation, questioning the response capacity and existing alert mechanisms. The debate focused on the adequacy of the intelligence services and the executive's readiness to handle large-scale migratory flows.

Ceuta, a Spanish enclave located in North Africa, has regularly been the scene of migrant entry attempts from Moroccan territory. The situation places pressure on both Spanish and Moroccan authorities in managing these migratory flows.
