Spanish intelligence has concluded that a new attempt by migrants to reach Ceuta may soon occur: online calls for a mass border crossing are spreading again. This new action is very similar to the one that led to the breach of the border at the end of July.
It is quite likely that the new wave of migrants in Ceuta will be even more intense, as calls for a mass border crossing in online spaces grow, Euractiv reports.
What is known about the new possible influx of migrants to Ceuta?
In posts circulating on Facebook, WhatsApp, and TikTok, people are urged to illegally cross the border 15 in August, or even earlier. To do this, they are advised to bypass the Tarajal seawall by swimming to reach the enclave on the coast of North Africa.
Spain’s government insists that it is prepared this time to handle any situation at the border, and that it is counting on cooperation with Moroccan law enforcement to avoid a repeat of the July incident.
Then, within a few days, the border was crossed by approximately 70 000 migrants from Morocco. Most of them quickly left the city, but thousands remain there — and latest regional authorities data show that at least 141 people died during this crisis.

Leaders of 22 countries of the EU signed a letter drafted by Giorgia Meloni, the Italian prime minister, and Mette Frederiksen of Denmark, calling for a coordinated European response, and also accusing Spain’s migration policy of contributing to the current situation.
How are things being received in Europe?
Austria’s Minister for European Affairs, Integration and Family, Claudia Bauer, previously urged Spain to "significantly strengthen" border protection. And in Italy, they went further: the government of Giorgia Meloni implemented border controls for Spaniards attempting to enter Italy.
At Madrid’s request to cancel it, it was refused in Italy, also rejecting Spain’s threats to take "proportional" measures.
