Spain Fears New Ceuta Mass Crossing as August 15 Threat Grows
7th August 2026
Spain is bracing for a possible second mass migrant crossing into Ceuta as the political fallout from last week’s unprecedented border breach spreads from Madrid to Brussels.
The Guardia Civil is closely monitoring social media messages calling on migrants to gather in the Moroccan border town of Castillejos on August 15 before attempting to enter the Spanish enclave.
Sources within the force told 20minutos that the threat was “more than a rumour,” with mobilisation messages circulating through WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook groups with as many as 400,000 members.
Officials believe another influx on the scale of July 30—when Spanish authorities say more than 72,000 migrants crossed from Morocco—is unlikely because security has since been dramatically reinforced. But Interior Ministry sources acknowledged that another attempted mass entry was a real possibility, saying authorities would be prepared.
I roll to disbelieve….
