Spain and Morocco Enhance Ceuta Border Security Amid Online Calls for Mass Crossing
Following a mass migrant influx of around 72,000 people into Spain's Ceuta last month, Spanish and Moroccan authorities have increased security along the border amid online calls for another large crossing on August 15, Spain's national holiday. Both countries have deployed additional personnel and installed barriers to prevent irregular entries. Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska emphasized efforts to restore normality and reject most asylum claims, while Morocco monitors social media and strengthens border controls to deter new attempts.
