Sánchez dismisses police claim that Morocco instigated Ceuta crisis – POLITICO

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Thursday denied Morocco’s involvement in the flood of tens of thousands of migrants into Ceuta — despite an explosive police report indicating Rabat helped orchestrate the surge.

During an extraordinary session of the Spanish parliament called to address the crisis, Sánchez dismissed the report’s allegations that Moroccan security officers guided groups of migrants toward the border with Ceuta.

“I can assure you that no government institution, nor the diplomatic service, nor the European Commission, nor any international organization has provided the Spanish government with solid evidence that Morocco planned or carried out the incident,” Sánchez said.
