The migration crisis in Ceuta has caused significant turmoil in Spain, following reports that around 72,000 people stormed the enclave. The Spanish government sees a connection between this situation and disinformation being spread through social networks.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has specifically accused Russia and Israel of being involved in the dissemination of this misinformation. He suggests that such information could have contributed to the escalation of the crisis, emphasizing the pivotal role of social networks associated with these countries.

Additionally, there is speculation that Ceuta may receive financial assistance in the form of millions in aid to better cope with the fallout from the crisis. The role of external actors continues to be closely monitored.
