This is how it looks like the Spanish Army shooting the inmigrants in Ceuta. Many were claiming for a massacre. From the king of Morocco to spanish opposition parties to Sánchez, including Trump and Netanyahu. Not a single shot in the shortest "invasion" in History.

Very painful episode for Spain. Blackmailed and punished by Morocco and immediately abandoned by our European allies. Complete different attitude to Poland in 2021. Spain deserved better

The New York Times has spoken with several Moroccan nationals who say they were encouraged to cross into Ceuta by the Moroccan authorities.

There's growing evidence the surge into Ceuta (🇪🇸PM Sanchez has called it an "attack") has, like in 2021, been orchestrated by the Moroccan government in retaliation for Sanchez visiting Algeria Yet it's Spain being criticised by European politicians, not Morocco. So much for solidarity.

The real issue on Ceuta is the lack of solidarity with a Member State under external attack for reasons of internal politics and political exploitation. Italy, Denmark, Finland, but also the von der Leyen Commission. Meanwhile, more than half have already returned to Morocco.
