LaSexta deletes tweet concerning masked individuals in Ceuta
LaSexta removes the tweet regarding masked figures in Ceuta amid growing, unsubstantiated 'false flag' claims. The original content remains on their website.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
Why did Lasensla delete the tweet about masked individuals in Ceuta? The media outlet published an exclusive account of men wearing masks who, according to the message itself, were confronting migrants in the autonomous city and claimed that 'the police thank us, they turn a blind eye.' The tweet no longer exists. The content remained on the outlet's website when this issue arose, and there has been no official explanation for its removal.
A deletion without explanation and a hypothesis without proof
The fact that the message disappeared is verifiable. What is built upon it, however, is not. Surrounding this disappearance is the 'false flag' label—an accusation that appears unsupported by any known evidence. One recurring argument points to the material shown: a small pellet gun and a rubber baton seem unlikely for a group intending real harm. Another suggests the framing seeks to portray Ceuta's residents as aggressors and migrants as defenseless victims. These are interpretations, not verifications, and it is important not to confuse them, even if the emphasis is strong.
Ceuta: coverage and media narrative
Some emphasize that the pieces published about Ceuta in recent days focus heavily on the alleged hostility of the inhabitants and the hardships faced by those arriving. Hence, there is talk of a coordinated campaign against the population of the autonomous city; however, no segment has been supported by documents. The figure of 9,000 to 10,000 accommodation places as a declared goal also circulates, without independent verification in this material, and without clarification on who set it or the timeline. The leap from that data point to a 'total psychological operation' is free-flowing—and comfortable, especially.
What can be verified and what cannot
The deletion of a tweet takes two minutes to verify. The intention ascribed to it, not so much. Coverage of an event in a border city warrants harsh criticism—editorial line, focus, chosen sources—without needing to invent a hidden script. And an accusation of staging that offers no document is not skepticism: it is the same blind faith ascribed to the official narrative, only with a different logo. A deleted tweet, however, is verifiable. It is perhaps the only part of this story that holds up to scrutiny.
