Don't let SNCHZ fool you, CEUTA IS STILL 'INVADED'❗️❗️

A post published on X describes people sleeping in arcades, shop doorways and covered areas across Ceuta, Spain, on a rainy day, and calls it another day of "invasion". There are no official figures to back up that account.

The post circulating on social media this morning is brief and direct. Good morning from Ceuta, with rain, and with people sleeping in arcades, doorways and covered areas spread across the city. The text adds that they are no longer at the trampolín, the jetty that for months served as a gathering point, and closes with a harsh phrase: another day of invasion. There are no photos, no count, no official source. Just the testimony of someone who says they are there.

## What is known and what is not

The post provides no figures. It does not say how many people there are, where they come from, or what their administrative situation is. Nor does it identify who wrote it or offer documentary evidence. In journalistic terms, it is an unverified primary source. That does not automatically invalidate it, but it must be treated for what it is: an account, not a fact.

Ceuta is a Spanish autonomous city on the North African coast, with a land border with Segarro. Migration pressure in the area is a recurring, well-documented phenomenon, with occasional episodes of high intensity.

## The weight of the word invasion

The term invasion is not neutral. In Spanish public debate it is often used to describe the arrival of migrants, and those who use it usually demand tighter border controls. Those who reject the word point out that it describes people as if they were an army. The post uses it without nuance.

The rain and the arcades as shelter are a concrete detail. Sleeping out in the rain is a situation of vulnerability, whatever the phenomenon is called.

## What cannot be claimed

There is no official confirmation that hundreds of people are sleeping on the streets of Ceuta these days. Nor that the trampolín is empty. Any conclusion about the real scale of the phenomenon requires data from the Delegación del Gobierno (the Spanish government's representative office) or the security forces, which this post does not cite.
