Madrid denies leaked claim tying Morocco to Ceuta border surge

Spain’s police chief says there is no police report accusing Moroccan security forces of orchestrating the Ceuta migrant influx, contradicting a leaked document that blamed Morocco. Prime Minister Sánchez and Interior Minister Grande-Marlaska have called for clarification, noting Morocco is not responsible and highlighting concerns about disinformation as roughly 70,000 migrants entered Ceuta in late July. The episode underscores EU migration tensions and Spain’s efforts to manage reception and security, with Madrid seeking EU support for screening and processing migrants.
