Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of Spain said the role of Moroccan authorities at key moments needed to be “clarified.” But he rejected any suggestion they had planned the crisis.
Hundreds of thousands filled plazas across Spain on Wednesday to show their support for Ceuta, a Spanish territory in North Africa that thousands of migrants crossed into in July.
Claims swirled that Morocco, perhaps spurred by Israel and the United States, organized a recent border disaster. That unproven speculation, experts said, was exacerbated by the region’s complicated history.
Migrants from sub-Saharan Africa waiting on a beach for humanitarian assistance after about tens of thousands of people, mostly from Morocco, surged across the border into Ceuta, Spain, this month.
