Declassified intelligence reports have surfaced revealing that Spanish authorities were alerted to the possibility of mass migrant crossings into Ceuta well before the recent border crisis unfolded. The documents suggest that the Spanish spy agency, the CNI, had gathered information regarding organized plans to breach the perimeter of the North African enclave.

According to the reports, the warnings were not limited to Spanish officials; Moroccan authorities were also reportedly made aware of the intelligence. The existence of these documents raises questions regarding the preparedness of border security forces and the level of coordination between Madrid and Rabat in managing migration flows. While the documents confirm that intelligence was shared, they do not detail the specific countermeasures taken by either government in response to these warnings. The revelation has prompted scrutiny over whether the subsequent border breach could have been prevented had the intelligence been acted upon more aggressively by the relevant security agencies. As of now, officials from both nations have provided limited commentary on the specific protocols followed after these warnings were issued, leaving the extent of the failure in border management a subject of ongoing debate.
