As Morocco has once again laid claim to the Spanish enclave, and Sánchez is trying to contain tensions with Rabat, the U.S. president lashed out at the Madrid government in an interview.

The European Commission has declined to comment on the recently leaked Spanish police report pointing to Rabat’s involvement in the Ceuta mass incursion, declaring the investigation “a matter for the national authorities.”

A leaked report says uniformed and plainclothes members of Morocco’s security forces directed the mass entry on July 30, contradicting the version defended by Pedro Sánchez throughout the crisis.

Police prevented a confrontation between residents and illegal immigrants hours before a group of between 30 and 40 people attacked an Army vehicle.

The Jabaroot group presents their leak as a “gift to Spain” in response to the mass entry of July 30.

National Police have begun clearing more than 4,000 migrants as reports of contagious diseases and sexual assault mount, while the Government prepares to transfer 500 minors to mainland Spain.

The ease with which Rabat has stopped new attempts to enter Ceuta suggests the North African country is using migration as political leverage.

Spanish ministers face parliamentary scrutiny over the handling of the crisis as Brussels considers using trade and visa pressure against Morocco.

Online activity shows an even larger push to enter Spain in the coming days is being prepared.
