What happened, for context

Spain's National Intelligence Center (CNI) issued warnings on July 29, 2026, one day before approximately 70,000–72,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco. The warnings, contained in declassified documents released on September 9, 2026, alerted Spanish authorities in Ceuta and Moroccan intelligence services to social media calls for a mass crossing. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has stated the government was not warned of the magnitude of the crisis, while opposition figures argue the documents contradict this account.
