The trains and other public transports to bring these people there were free that day for that specific destination.
Whoever was the main one to have coordinated this should be punished. In case of Finland it was Russia to have coordinated this. In case of Spain, the most logical actor was Morocco. There should be sanctions that are rigidly enforced here. It should also be treated as a military attack against the EU by Morocco, aside from sanctions.
It's an exaggeration to call this an attack - those people were not military, we not legally obliged, conscripted, or paid to do it - the are willing migrants, they actually want to immigrate and live in Spain. What changed is that they were given the opportunity, "they did it because they could".
In any case, they are all back now. It failed.
It is very important to note that you can not leave Ceuta without passport etc. It is not part of Schengen. This is a problem for Ceuta and Spain, and nothing more.
Think about that when you read what your politicians say about the incident. I have seen many lies and false statements the last few days.
The leaders should stand by Spain, not lie to their citizens about the situation to win votes.
Once a force of 60k men violently break into your country your duty is to start shooting, instead they had Spanish citizens have to bar their house doors and windows with couches and tremble in fear. Completely insane.
Those people had no way to stay in Ceuta or travel onwards in any way, so this was just a deadly flashmob performance.
Of course the whole thing does double duty in arousing fascists and racists in Spain and the EU, for which the cui prodest list is quite ample.
So, I a remain curious to the base of the claim, but so far it rather seems rumors.
Regarding how such a flood happen, I don’t know, but someone should investigate it for sure.
The Xitter claim was that:
Moroccan traffic police keeps directing thousands of illegal migrants toward the Spanish border fence in Ceuta.
This is a state-orchestrated invasion of Spain.
No visible attack, no proof that the people visible are "thousands of illegal migrants" nor of where they are or where they are headed.
It shows people on cars and police waiving them on like all the other traffic. So possible they especially were set up for the immigrants, but no idea how one can conclude that from this short clip.
Actually OP was talking about migrants crossing from Belarus.
