– Pedro Sánchez, the Spanish Prime Minister, said there is "no solid evidence" that the Moroccan state planned the influx of 72,000 migrants into Ceuta. His claim directly refutes a report by Spanish police, which claims Rabat "orchestrated" the event.
Sánchez also cited Rabat’s subsequent cooperation in returning most migrants within 2 days, although admitting elements from the Moroccan police allowed migrant crossings during a 10-hour peak on July 30.
