Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has spoken out about the recent migrant crisis in Ceuta. He says that Morocco is not responsible for the trouble at the border.
Instead, Sánchez claims that Russia and Israel have been spreading false information to make the situation worse. He suggests these countries are using "disinformation"—which is just a fancy way of saying they are spreading lies or misleading stories—to stir up tension and confusion.
By blaming these foreign actors, the Prime Minister is trying to clear Morocco of any wrongdoing. He wants the public to know that the chaos at the border is being fueled by outside groups trying to create problems, rather than the result of official actions by the Moroccan government.
Sánchez's comments come after a lot of debate about why so many people have been trying to cross the border into the Spanish territory of Ceuta. Officials are now focusing on how these online stories are affecting the situation on the ground.
