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.

bbc.comAbout 60,000 migrants arrive in Ceuta in 24 hours, Spanish territory's leader saysThe estimated number of arrivals is more than 70% of the population of the city, which is about 83,600.

It's obviously that criticizing Morocco would be risky Spain praised Morocco's response as well, because a bit of ass kissing is probably the best strategy

This critisism towards Spain is not that important. Meloni and the Finnish do that for domestic reasons. Especially Italy would really have problems when Schengen becomes a subject: the first thing the rest of the EU will do is close off Italy.

Impossible that 🇲🇦 gov would organise that. Relations with 🇪🇸 are currently excellent. No one in Morocco security forces would do that on 30 July when all cops/gendarmerie resources are working on the allegiance ceremony that gathers all Morocco dignitaries in Tetouan (a few kms away from Ceuta) 1/2

All the (very competent) people who would design and implement such operation were renewing their allegiance (or securing the perimeter of this ceremony www.instagram.com/reel/Dbd6cu9...

The only tiiiny possibility would be that some rogue local officials took such an initiative to please 🇺🇸 or 🇮🇱. But this is not the way that heavily centralised state works. This ain’t Libya.

In order for this many migrants to suddenly show up, it is clear it is organized. And who has the power to organize - and who gains by the propaganda it generates? Hmm We know migrants into the US were sold a story by big business wanting cheap labor.

US and Israel are backing Morocco up. This is a dirty war, which is the only kind of war Israel and US know how to play. It is pure retaliation.

It's notable that when Belarus/Russia did this to Poland, other EU countries didn't respond by blaming Poland. They blamed Belarus/Russia. No mystery why Europe's governing conservatives are blaming the EU's only leftist prime minister.
