Last Thursday, July 30, an estimated 72,000 undocumented migrants crossed the border from Morocco into Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa widely seen by migrants as a gateway to Europe.
Many Moroccan migrants reported being spurred on by social media posts claiming the heavily guarded border could easily be breached.
By Friday, Spanish authorities had returned roughly 70,000 people to Morocco, though reports indicate 2,000 undocumented migrants remain in Ceuta.
In the past, Sánchez has prioritized expanding legal pathways for migrants rather than pursuing stricter border enforcement.
As thousands of migrants remain in Ceuta, that question is likely to continue shaping both Spanish and European immigration policy.
