According to it, intelligence services believe that Rabat did not plan the influx of illegal migrants beforehand. However, Moroccan authorities not only failed to stop people heading to the border crossing, but also effectively cleared the way for them. According to Spanish experts, although Moroccan authorities did not orchestrate the influx of illegal migrants, they recognized an opportunity in this situation. At least 72 people died while attempting to reach Ceuta. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said that the crisis in Ceuta is a violation of the country’s territorial integrity.
