Despite repeated warnings, the government did not deploy the Army to respond to the crisis, leading to the largest migration crisis in Ceuta's history, with around 60,000 migrants entering in less than 24 hours.

This move comes in response to the mass influx of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco. Italy's interior ministry also agreed with France to strengthen controls along the Franco-Italian border to prevent undocumented migrants from entering Italy. Critics argue that the measure is symbolic and unlikely to prevent migrants from reaching Italy, while others see it as a political move aimed at domestic audiences.
