It didn't build up slowly.

Last year, nothing like this happened.

And Spain has, in the first half of this year, had 12,000 irregular arrivals, less than last year.

The key must lie in Morocco.

And that's the big debate in Spain, of course.

Because when you see this large number of people, you know, it's like, well, large, it's the size of a Bundesliga football game or a concert, big concert, right?

I mean, you can mobilize 50,000 people, especially when you have these big cities nearby.

But to have them move towards the beach, to then get into the water, not to be impeded.

Moroccan authorities and the reports by journalists, many interviews,

It's all anecdotal, but it's the best we have, have asked people and they said that Moroccan authorities have not stopped them.

Some have apparently encouraged them to go towards the beach.

This information on the internet, hundreds of thousands of messages being sent out with this information that Spain is now open.

If you go swimming, you can enter Spain or Europe.

In 2021, something very similar happened.

At that time, 10,000 people went into theater.

And at that time, it was very clearly a Moroccan pressure operation on Spain because of the politics surrounding West Sahara, a territory, I'm sure you can explain that, a territory that Morocco says is Moroccan, that used to be controlled by Spain until the 70s.

And Spain was then treating a leader of the organization fighting for its independence in a hospital in Spain.
