Centre-left Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday alleged that social networks linked to Israel and Russia had spread disinformation about the July migrant crisis in the Spanish exclave of Ceuta. He said the alleged smear campaign, which he maintained had also been magnified by far-right networks, had been driven in part by Madrid's opposition to the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Russia and Israel both spread and amplified disinformation related to the mass entry of migrants into Spain's North African exclave of Ceuta last month, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Monday, citing research by the European Union's foreign policy body, the European External Action Service (EEAS).
