Spain's national intelligence agency issued a warning about possible "mass entries" by migrants into Ceuta a day before more than 70,000 migrants stormed the border fences of the enclave in North Africa, according to documents declassified on Wednesday.
The Spanish government declassified a trove of more than 40 documents, including internal alerts, intelligence reports, charts and communications from multiple law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
One urgent memo sent by the National Intelligence Center to authorities in Ceuta on the day before the incident warned of "several calls to carry out entries into Ceuta."
"There are two different groups with a total of 180,000 followers," the declassified memo read, “just to give you an idea of its scale."
CENIF, a border division of the National Police, also published a warning about the social media groups a day before the incident.
