​Madrid, Aug. 6 (EFE).- Spanish security forces have analyzed numerous messages circulating in recent days on Moroccan social media calling for a new mass entry into Ceuta, a Spanish city located in North Africa, on August 15. ​Following the arrival a week ago of tens of thousands of people at the Moroccan border with Ceuta, which has so far left over a hundred dead, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok have once again been flooded with messages featuring slogans like “15/08” or “al-hajma” (the offensive, the onslaught). ​“See you all there,” read messages featuring images of the Spanish flag, hourglasses, waves, and swimmers. The hoax was reinforced by videos showing thousands of migrants entering through border checkpoints. Monitoring with Caution ​According to police sources who spoke to EFE, Spanish security forces have been monitoring this phenomenon for days and are analyzing the messages with great caution, as they may come from outside Spain and Morocco and the number of followers or “likes” may have been manipulated. ​Despite this, the police operation deployed in Ceuta will remain in place over the next few days, the sources said, adding that they were more inclined to view this as another instance of disinformation rather than a real entry attempt. ​The Government Delegate in Ceuta, Miguel Ángel Pérez, has already confirmed that the government is closely monitoring social media posts calling for a new attempt to enter on the 15th and assured that preparations are already underway for that possibility. ​Foreign minister urges people not to be misled ​On Thursday, coinciding with this surge in posts, Spain’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, urged social media users not to “be fooled by false information.” ​In a message on X, the minister emphasized that “entering Ceuta or Melilla illegally does not allow you to remain in Spain or reach the European mainland.” ​Social media played a key role in mobilizing last week’s protests with messages such as “the gate to Ceuta is open,” “today is the day,” and “Come,” which led tens of thousands of people to believe that the border into Spain was open and that they could remain on Spanish territory. ​Brussels is also keeping a close eye on the situation Also on Thursday, the European Commission stated that it is closely monitoring social media in light of the call for action on Aug. 15, noting that channels linked to Russia have amplified the migration crisis since July 30. ​“We are maintaining full vigilance before, during, and after August 15, because this is the date that has been mentioned on social media as a possible new attempt to cross the border,” said EU Home Affairs spokesperson Guillaume Mercier at a press conference. ​However, Commission spokesperson Arianna Podestà insisted that “many of the reports circulating have not been verified” and that there is “a murky picture” of what is currently happening in the area, which is why close contact is being maintained with Spanish and Moroccan authorities. ​In his remarks on Thursday before a European Parliament committee, the president of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, argued that these reports about what might happen on August 15 are “clear proof that Ceuta is living in a state of anxiety.” ​Vivas added that they do not know if a mass influx will occur again, “because what has become evident is that the border is completely vulnerable.” EFE jls-so/mcd
