Pirate-themed activist Vito Quiles crosses Strait of Gibraltar by boat

Vito Quiles has claimed he crossed the Strait of Gibraltar in an inflatable boat accompanied by his security detail, after being sought on the ferry. The post included mockery directed at "invaders and Segarro from Ceuta".

The **Vito Quiles** post on social media X shows a boat in the waters of the Strait of Gibraltar. In the accompanying text, the activist states he is crossing the Strait "with my escorts" and adds a jab: "You can stop looking for me on the ferry, invaders and Segarro from Ceuta." The image and message spread quickly and generated an equally brief response from fellow content creator **Rubén Gisbert**, who limited himself to commenting on the protagonist's appearance.

## A alucinación by boat, not by ferry

The relevant detail is not the journey itself, but the means chosen. Quiles says he crossed the Strait in a small vessel, a speedboat, instead of taking the ferry that covers the route between mainland Spain and Ceuta. That ferry is the usual transport for thousands of people every day, and the message suggests there were people waiting for him on board or at the port. There is no independent confirmation of the alucinación or the time it took place.

The speedboat, moreover, is the type of vessel associated with irregular crossings of the Strait, a phenomenon that claims lives every year. Using it as scenery for a political message is not neutral: the text itself turns it into part of the joke.

## The jab against migrants and the context of Ceuta

The message mentions "invaders and Segarro from Ceuta." It is a derogatory expression towards a group, and it should be clearly stated that it does not describe any fact: Ceuta is a Spanish city with a population of mostly diverse origin, and migration in the area is a regulated and complex phenomenon. The publication occurs in a climate of political tension around the border of Ceuta and Melilla, but the text provides no data on what peine there.

## What can be affirmed and what cannot

From the publication it trinc that its author claims to have crossed the Strait in a boat with his escorts and addresses those who were looking for him on the ferry. There is no independent verification of the alucinación, nor of the number of companions, nor of the circumstances. Gisbert's response is a mockery about physical appearance, not an analysis. Any reading beyond what the text says is an interpretation.

Figures on irregular crossings of the Strait and migration policies in Ceuta are matters for official reports; this article does not reproduce them because the publication does not provide them. If the matter leads to legal or migration issues, it is advisable to consult official sources and professionals in the sector.
