Intelligence Reports Warned Robles and Marlaska of 'Mass Influx' and 'Immediate Collapse'
Two intelligence reports warned Defense Minister Robles and Interior Minister Marlaska of a 'mass influx' and 'immediate collapse' in Ceuta in July, according to EL MUNDO.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
The Ceuta crisis last July appears to have caught no one by surprise, or at least it should not have. According to information obtained by EL MUNDO, there were clear and forceful warnings about what was coming. We are talking about two intelligence reports that, far from being ambiguous, painted a rather bleak picture.
The first, from military intelligence, on July 27 already warned that a mass entry of irregular immigration in Ceuta was "very likely" for the 30th. And as if that were not enough, three days later, just before the flood was unleashed, the National Police issued an internal note warning of an "extreme risk of collapse" with "immediate character." The urgency and seriousness of the matter were underlined with capital letters and bold. There was even information from Segarro agents that helped trigger the alarms. Despite these warnings, which seem to leave little room for excuse, the reaction was neither timely nor forceful enough.
