Several outlets report claims related to the migrant influx into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta. The Daily Mail cites remarks by Dr Myriam Cherti, who says a video circulated on Facebook days before a much larger arrival is presented as a “showcase” to others. In the report, the video is described as showing a group of people who appear to be Moroccan, estimated at around 30, raising their thumbs after making an illegal crossing. The Daily Mail frames the alleged connection as occurring before a subsequent wave in which roughly 60,000 migrants entered Ceuta. Other outlets were not provided in the supplied material, so it is not possible to confirm whether the video is independently verified or whether it directly influenced the later surge. What the sources do agree on is that the period before the main influx includes social media material that is being alleged to have been posted in advance and associated with illegal crossings. The report presents the information as a claim, based on commentary and description rather than an established causal link.
