The Government will proceed this Wednesday to the declassification of around 40 documents, dated between July 1 and August 1, linked to the crisis experienced in Ceuta due to the massive entry of about 80,000 migrants from the border with Morocco. The spokesperson minister, Elma Saiz, announced that more reports of interest will be made public if there are any, given that from the Executive they have "nothing to hide."
Saiz detailed that "all the documents in the hands of the Government of Spain" will be available for consultation and emphasized that citizens will have "the information that is available," insisting that they act under criteria of transparency. In this sense, she stressed that the Government has carried out "an important task of anonymizing" in order to declassify and disseminate those reports "that had relevance." The texts that affect National Security will follow their usual "course" through the Official Secrets Commission of Congress.
Sources from the Executive have insisted that this involves "all" the documents available at this time and that have been prepared by different ministries and by the bodies and forces of state security, including the CNI. In addition, it has been decided to include in that documentary package, which will be released throughout Wednesday, various internal communications between departments related to the events that have been considered significant.
Sánchez had already advanced it in Congress
The president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, had already announced in parliamentary session his intention to make public all the reports and warnings handled by the Executive in the days before and after the massive entry of migrants.
As he stated, this declassification includes all intelligence services, both police and military, with the aim of supporting his argument that no agency alerted the Government that an avalanche like the one recorded on July 30 and 31 was going to occur.
During his speech, he reiterated that all notes from the CNI and the Security Forces have been reviewed and that none of them went beyond routine warnings. That is to say, at no time was there an alert about a massive entry of migrants.
