Spanish police opened special Ceuta border crossing for Spain’s consul two days before mass entry

A Spanish police officer has told a court that authorities opened a special crossing at the Ceuta border on July 28, 2026, to allow the country’s newly appointed consul in Tangier to enter the occupied city, just two days before the mass arrival of migrants, Spanish newspaper El Independiente reported.

The officer, who appeared before Judge Maria Tardon on Thursday as part of the investigation into the events of July 30 and 31, emphasized that opening a special lane for the consul was not the usual practice.

He said that he had been instructed to arrange the consul’s passage and had notified the head of the Foreigners Brigade before the consul crossed into occupied Ceuta.

The newspaper noted that the Spanish diplomat arrived in the afternoon and went back to Morocco using the same passage.

The officer also told the court that police had heard rumors that the consul’s visit was intended to warn of a planned mass entry from Morocco, but said he could not independently confirm them.
