03.08.2026The Day the Audiencia Nacional Opened the Ceuta Case

On August 3, the Ceuta migrant crisis entered its fourth day, with editorial focus shifting to judicial and diplomatic dimensions. The Audiencia Nacional opened preliminary proceedings, requesting police reports to determine if the mass entry was a coordinated action. Foreign Minister Albares acknowledged the 'unusual' nature of events but stressed Morocco's willingness to prevent them, while Ceuta's president called Morocco 'unreliable.' EU Commission President Von der Leyen warned against using irregular migration as pressure, and Defense Minister Robles backed the CNI, demanding Morocco investigate the border breach. The government estimated 2,500 migrants remained in Ceuta, and the Legion conducted deportations. The dismissal of the National Security press chief for informing about the crisis underscored internal tensions.
