Thousands move to Ceuta port for a spot
One of the images circulated was dated September 18, 2026, at 7:03 in Ceuta. The tweets showed the transfer of thousands of people toward the new port facility, with the National Police attempting to maintain order among those settled at Benítez beach and its surroundings. This was not a desperate arrival; it was an internal transfer, from Benítez beach and its surroundings to the port.
The episode summarizes the anomaly of the case. In Ceuta, there is not an ongoing invasion, but a bottleneck. Thousands of people already in the city are vying for spots in a new port facility while the debate oscillates between humanitarian emergency and military metaphor.
Why everyone wants a spot in the port
A theory circulated in the thread suggests that the port would function as an exit platform into the peninsula, and those who remain inside the system gain position for the next step. Based on this premise, the race would not be a sudden influx but a response to an administrative bottleneck.
While this reading was presented, the thread also included other opinions, none of which were confirmed in writing.
The version that the spot was won by force
According to a message from the forum, it was said in La Sens that those who obtained spots in the port were those who exercised force. The thread summarized this with a comparison to 'The Hunger Games.' This is a hypothesis, not verified fact.
The thread mentioned lice, scabies, and ringworm, without figures or official diagnosis.
Who sustains the reception facility?
The debate mentions the Red Cross and CETI as part of the reception facility, without the material detailing its operation.
The thread criticizes the administration and the Red Cross for the reception, without providing verifiable data.
Segarro, Brussels and theories without a single proof
In the realm of speculation, the repertoire is wide. One message attributes to Segarro a double game: demanding the return of those who entered in public, but making no private claim regarding any group. The same message suggests that the EU and the Spanish Government are aware of this supposed reality and remain silent. Espionage using Pegasus software is even mentioned.
None of this has documentary support. They are linked conjectures, the kind that grow when official information is scarce and decisions are communicated late.
Political strain: from 'all solved' to the Spotify video
According to a message in the thread, the political sequence is the same. A declaration that resolves the crisis before it is resolved. A video published the next day by La Mareta recommending a Spotify playlist. And a message from Óscar Puente, two days later, celebrating another crisis solved by Pedro Sánchez.
That contrast is what the message highlights.
With these matters, the question is not how many arrived, but how many can be accommodated. As one message in the thread summarizes, during the pandemic, 45 million people could be controlled, and now it costs to manage a few thousand in a port.
