There's some evidence that they were rounded up and herded onto Ceuta by Moroccan cops and intelligence operatives. This smells like Trump or the Eurofascists are behind it in some way, and they've paid off the king of Morocco to stir up some shit.
Also, when Sanchez previously criticized Morocco for its continuing occupation of Western Sahara, there was a similar but smaller manufactured immigration crisis involving 8000 people.
Tbh, I'm kind of impressed by the reaction of the police and military. I know it's not popular to make this statement in Spain at the moment, only criticisms allowed.
But imagine if 60k people suddenly try to invade your small city (population ~80k). And while you mess up initially and they all get in, you manage to get most of them out within 24h. Without shooting to kill. It deserves some recognition.

Seems like a pretty important detail to leave out of the headline

Well they realised that all the promised mountains of gold aren't made of gold after all
There was an interview with a guy who went back and he was like "we were told that in Spain the government will give us everything we think of"
Sounds like someone was trying to cause instability in Spain by promising a bunch of people the world so they'd migrate.

Billions of foreign invaders! EATING THE DOGS AND CATS!
It's all such flagrant bullshit. And meanwhile Reform is being kept afloat with dirty foreign money.
