Pay close attention, because this is an extremely serious matter: new calls are being detected on social media to repeat what happened in Ceuta, but with greater force.
August 15th is the date being circulated for another attempt to enter Ceuta—and potentially to replicate the experience in Melilla. According to emerging reports, open-source intelligence sources are warning that WhatsApp, Telegram, and other instant messaging groups are being formed to organize a renewed attempt.
These open-source intelligence sources suggest that the various Facebook, Telegram, and WhatsApp groups organizing this effort could comprise up to 108,000 members. Calls to return to Castillejos are appearing; information is being published in the Arabic dialect used in Morocco; and there are open calls for a mass surge—a situation that is deeply concerning because there is no longer any attempt to hide these intentions.
It appears that the Pedro Sánchez government's response to the previous incursion was to thank Morocco for its cooperation. Morocco’s reaction seems to be: "We’d be delighted—let’s do it again." But this time, they aren't hiding it, and we can no longer accuse the CNI, CIFAS, or any state security intelligence agency of failing to provide a warning; the threat of a new entry attempt on August 15th is already being openly discussed. August 15th is just around the corner—practically a couple of weeks away—and calls for gatherings in Castillejos are already being made.
I repeat: intelligence agencies—or open-source intelligence groups—are already warning that up to 108,000 people have been identified across various WhatsApp and Telegram groups as having joined these calls to action. There is little more to say; this is the response to Pedro Sánchez’s spinelessness—to his capitulation and inaction. They made an initial attempt and saw there were no consequences. The Moroccan ambassador was not recalled for consultations; in fact, it was the Italian ambassador who was recalled.
We are up against all of Europe; interior ministers from 22 countries are currently rebuking Marlasca—22 out of 27 nations are criticizing Spain. Pedro Sánchez, I repeat, thanked Morocco, and this is the result: calls are already circulating on social media to repeat this on August 15th.
They are acting brazenly to see if the government will reinforce its stance, take a hard line, and deploy more troops and police. By making it public—letting everyone know, "Hey, we’re going on the 15th"—they are testing just how submissive Pedro Sánchez is, or whether he is actually in on the plan. Let’s wait for the 15th—it’s not far off—to see if this is real, a smokescreen, a trial balloon, or if they will genuinely attempt to storm Ceuta again on August 15th, this time including Melilla.
And by the way, I want to point out something very curious: while all this is happening, Queen Letizia—who supposedly stays out of politics due to the monarchy's institutional role (that monarchy which, according to the Constitution, cannot take action)—appears at a film festival in the Balearic Islands in good company, alongside Javier Bardem. Letizia exchanged a very effusive greeting with Javier Bardem—who is, of course, a very neutral guy, right? Javier Bardem, known for his stance on Palestine. The royal institution—the one that is supposed to be... what is the word? Impartial, avoiding controversy—yet there is Queen Letizia, dressed in the red of the Moroccan flag, embracing activist Javier Bardem.
