Secret documents released: Spanish secret service warned of an attack on Ceuta

Accordingly, on July 29, the CNI informed both the government representation in Ceuta and the Guardia Civil police unit about calls on social networks to cross the border the following day. After these warnings, two corresponding groups had together around 180,000 followers.

In another communication from the CNI there was talk of planned attempts to reach Ceuta by swimming and over the border fence. According to the documents that have now been released, the CNI also informed the Moroccan authorities.

Thousands of migrants are still in Ceuta

According to government information, on July 30th and 31st around 80,000 migrants from Morocco to Ceuta. Most then returned to Morocco. However, thousands remain in the Spanish exclave.

The government released around 40 documents from the period between July 1st and August 1st. According to his own statements, Sánchez wants to prove that the government was not warned about such a dimension before the mass arrival. There was initially no statement from either the government or the opposition on the new publications.
