Spanish Prime Minister blamed Russia for the migrant crisis in Ceuta

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez alleged that Russia and Israel are involved in the migrant crisis in Ceuta.
Seriously? As if Russia would ever combine forces with Israel! He must be polling really badly to be so desperate as to add Russia to the list of blame that started with President Trump and Israel.
According to him, Russian and Israeli social media allegedly spread disinformation about the Spanish Supreme Court's decision to ban the deportation of migrants, which contributed to the massive influx of Africans to Ceuta.

Sanchez claims the messages were spread through fake accounts.

He linked the disinformation to Russia, Israel and "an international far-right organization that always uses migration not only to attack Spain, but also Europe."
Oh, doze eeeeebil jooooooooz!
"Russian and Israeli networks spread these fakes and attacked the Spanish government and Europeans on the sensitive issue of illegal immigration, which divides and polarizes many European societies," he said in an interview with Cadena SER.

A serious migrant crisis in Ceuta, an autonomous city in Spain on the northern coast of Africa, began on the night of July 31. Up to 60,000 migrants, mostly from Morocco, but also from Algeria and sub-Saharan Africa, attempted to enter the exclave. A crush ensued, and people began drowning. Spanish authorities deployed ground troops to Ceuta and installed a floating barrier approximately 500 meters long in the sea. A mass deportation began: most were returned to Morocco, either voluntarily or under the supervision of security forces.

More than 100 people have died in the city due to the migrant crisis, Ceuta Mayor Juan Jesus Vivas said.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko noted that the situation in Ceuta demonstrated the problems in the EU's migration policy amid the ongoing demonization of Russia.
A palpable point.
