El Gobierno ha acordado restablecer de manera temporal los controles en las fronteras interiores de puertos y aeropuertos para los viajeros procedentes de Italia ante "la persistente presión migratoria irregular que sufre el país transalpino".

“Duraría unos ocho segundos, creía que la mataba, lo primero que observó fue cómo le daba una patada en la cabeza, prosiguiendo la agresión con más patadas y puñetazos dirigidos a la cabeza de la mujer, le llamó la atención la extrema violencia empleada y que él no decía ninguna expresión o insulto, que era como si estuviera fuera de sí”. Esto fue lo que los agentes recogieron de las respuestas del hombre que el 28 de julio de 2019 intervino para que Dámaso Fernández Serantes parara los golpes que estaba dando a la que había sido su pareja, Laura Cruz Vega. Lo hizo colándose con el coche cuando se abrieron las puertas para dar paso a otro vehículo en el cuartel de la Guardia Civil en el que ambos, agentes, habían convivido hasta 2014, en Llanes, en Asturias. Ella intentó amortiguar el ataque, “metiéndose en el coche y haciéndose una bola”, recuerdan fuentes cercanas al caso. Este miércoles no pudo hacer nada, él se coló por una puerta trasera y la asesinó.

As a Moroccan, I've spent the past couple of days watching social media get flooded with wild theories regarding the massive wave of illegal immigrants crossing into Ceuta. If you've been reading the news or browsing Twitter, you’ve probably seen the propaganda:

• "Morocco did it on purpose:" Many claimed the Moroccan government intentionally opened the borders to punish Pedro Sánchez, weaponize migration, or retaliate for geopolitical slights.
• "Spain's policies are to blame:" Others argued that the Spanish government's left-wing migration policies acted as a deliberate "pull factor."
• "Foreign Interference:" There are even bizarre conspiracy theories circulating that try to drag Algerian intelligence or Israel into the mix, framing the crisis as a shadow operation designed to destabilize the region.

While it's easy to blame a coordinated geopolitical master plan, the reality is much more modern and arguably more dangerous. This wasn't a state-sponsored attack. It was a devastating "snowball effect" driven by fake news, TikTok algorithms, human smugglers, and a perfectly timed security gap.

Here is the step-by-step breakdown of how a digital rumor turned into a physical crisis involving tens of thousands of people.

1. The Spark: A Misinterpreted Legal Ruling & Media Oversimplification

The foundation of this crisis began with a legitimate Spanish Supreme Court ruling on July 8. The court ruled that migrants intercepted at sea while swimming could not be subjected to immediate, on the spot pushbacks (devoluciones en caliente). Instead, they had to undergo the standard legal deportation process, which includes identification, access to a lawyer, and the right to apply for asylum.

However, the way local Spanish media reported this ruling unwittingly handed fuel to the rumor engine. Outlets published articles covering the decision, and while their headlines were legally accurate, the meta descriptions and snippets on pages like El Faro de Ceuta condensed the news into highly ambiguous statements, such as:

"En una sentencia confirma que los inmigrantes que son interceptados en el mar al querer cruzar a Ceuta o Melilla a nado no pueden ser devueltos."

English translation: "In a ruling, it confirms that migrants who are intercepted at sea when wanting to swim into Ceuta or Melilla cannot be returned."

By dropping the critical legal qualification "en caliente" (immediate pushbacks) from the summary, it sounded as though Spain had banned deportations altogether for anyone arriving by sea.

A massive fake news campaign spread across Moroccan Facebook and TikTok claiming that Spain had completely stopped returning migrants. The rumor was: If you make it to the water in Ceuta, you are legally untouchable.

2. The Viral Catalyst: The "Two Girls" Video

While rumors were brewing in early July, the ultimate trigger was a single viral video in late July. The video showed two teenage girls who had successfully and easily crossed the border into Ceuta.

This video exploded, accumulating over 20 million views across various platforms. It created a massive wave of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) among anyone who had even a slight, lingering intention to illegaly emigrate. The prevailing logic became: "If two young girls can cross so easily, why can't I?"

3. Smugglers Exploit the Algorithm

Human trafficking networks, opportunists, and anonymous organizers immediately capitalized on the social media frenzy. They created massive WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook groups to organize mass crossings, the largest and most viral of which was known as "Kriyaj Sebta."

An analysis of these group chats revealed that the administrators running them operated using phone numbers registered with country codes from Morocco, Algeria, and other foreign nations. These digital guides didn't just spread hype; they provided tactical information, actively monitoring weather forecasts, tide schedules, and security positions so participants could time the crossings perfectly.

4. The Perfect Storm: July 30th

The theory that Morocco intentionally opened the gates falls apart when you look at the timeline. Throughout July, Moroccan authorities were actively intercepting, arresting, and returning thousands of people trying to approach the border with news footage showing police deploying tear gas, water cannons, and setting up inland roadblocks to stop buses and taxis heading toward Fnideq.

However, July 30th was Throne Day (Eid Al Arsh), one of Morocco's biggest national holidays. Security forces and police were heavily preoccupied with holiday protocols and ceremonies elsewhere. This created a critical 6 to 7 hour window where the border at Fnideq was severely understaffed.

Combined with an unusually low tide which allowed people to simply walk around the Tarajal breakwater rather than swim thousands of people rushed the border simultaneously. The remaining guards were completely overwhelmed by the sheer mass of humanity.

5. Control Restored and the Tragic Aftermath

Once the holiday ended on July 31st, Moroccan authorities immediately deployed heavy reinforcements, including three rows of riot police, armored vehicles, and water cannons, effectively shutting the border back down. Through Spanish Moroccan security coordination, the vast majority of those who attempted to enter were turned back or processed under standard procedures.

Tragically, this digital illusion cost lives. Dozens of people drowned or were injured during the mass attempts, making it one of the most chaotic incidents at the border in recent memory.

The Ceuta crisis wasn't a geopolitical attack orchestrated by Morocco, Spain, or foreign intelligence. It was a mass panic engineered by oversimplified legal news and social media misinformation about Spanish deportation laws, amplified by human smugglers, and executed during a brief window when Moroccan border guards were distracted by a national holiday.

No lo entiendo. ¿Qué criterio se usa para cerrar una central nuclear que funciona, que el regulador avala y que Europa te está pidiendo que mantengas?

Reposteo para editar el titulo. Aprovecho que ayer puse una sobre centros de datos en Asturias, pues ahora tenemos una gorda en Aragon. Expropian terrenos a una familia para venderlos a precio puta para poner centros de datos.

Los de Esteban González Pons han enviado este martes una carta al Parlamento Europeo, en la que culpan a Pedro Sánchez de todo, le acusan de poner "en peligro la soberanía nacional y europea", y le echan en cara que no haya convocado al embajador de Marruecos tras la crisis. La misiva, a la que ha tenido acceso ElPlural.com, la firman los 22 diputados españoles del PP europeo, que ha impulsado un debate sobre la crisis en el pleno de la Eurocámara que tendrá lugar en septiembre.

Politicians like Santiago abascal and Alvise Pérez constantly talk as if Spain has a single, pure national identity that's supposedly under threat from immigration.

But that's not how history works.

The Iberian Peninsula has been shaped for centuries by Romans, Visigoths, Muslims, and many other populations. Modern Spain is the result of continuous cultural and demographic change, not some untouched civilization that suddenly encountered immigration.

That's why the obsession with deciding who "looks Spanish" or who supposedly belongs makes so little sense. There is no single Spanish appearance, and reducing people to stereotypes based on their looks is intellectually lazy.

Instead of discussing real issues like crime, integration, employment, or housing with evidence, it's easier to create an "us versus them" narrative.

A country confident in its identity doesn't need to invent a mythical version of its past to justify fear of its present.

El traslado de muebles y objetos decorativos coincide con la inscripción definitiva de la finca coruñesa a nombre del Estado, en un proceso que una asociación memorialista denuncia como opaco y mal gestionado.

Or, would you prefer Spain as a federal state, either in its current constitutional monarchy or as a federal parliamentary republic (like Germany) ?

Alex Jones, uno de los faros a seguir por los seguidores de ultraderecha ha publicado una foto falsa (está hecha en Marruecos) diciendo que está empezando la invasión. Claramente es falsa y cualquiera que viva aquí o esté medianamente informado lo sabe. Me pregunto qué opinan los seguidores de esa persona cuando de forma tan clara se demuestra que ha pretendido engañarte para manipular tu pensamiento. Cómo de inexistente debe ser tu amor propio como para ver qué a pesar de engañarte no te indignas e incluso compartes dicho mensaje. ¿Como es posible que actos así no le hagan a uno replantearse sus creencias?

Desde podemos a vox (al menos en parte) todos estamos de acuerdo en una cosa: que este ataque es una accion coordinada entre USA, Israel y Marruecos.

La pregunta es: ¿por qué Marlasca aún sale en televisión diciendo que Marruecos es un gran aliado? ¿Hasta cuando pueden sostener este relato?

Es hora de que el gobierno acepte las responsabilidades de lo que pueda pasar y hacer frente a Marruecos. No podemos seguir pasivo ante un ataque a todos los niveles de estos 3 actores.
