Spanish police report says Moroccan forces permissive during Ceuta migrant surge

Spanish police officials have accused Moroccan security forces of exhibiting “total permissiveness” during the large‑scale migrant crossing into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta last month. The allegation, detailed in a police report obtained by a French news agency on Wednesday, claims that Moroccan authorities failed to intervene as thousands of migrants attempted to reach the North African territory, which is under Spanish jurisdiction.

The incident, described as the most significant wave of irregular entries into Ceuta in recent years, has heightened diplomatic concerns between Spain and Morocco over border management and migration control. Both governments have previously cooperated on security measures in the region, and the report’s findings may prompt further discussions on joint enforcement protocols to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
