Austria's integration minister warns that a mass migrant assault on Ceuta, Spain's North African enclave, could be repeated within days, citing intelligence of new mobilization on social media. The messages, exchanged among thousands of young Moroccans on WhatsApp and Facebook, call for gathering on August 15. Hundreds of thousands reportedly belong to the groups, while experts suspect smugglers promote the push to sell rubber-boat crossings. Bauer urged Spain and the EU to strengthen border protection. She criticized Madrid's migration policy, saying hundreds of thousands of residence permits for irregular migrants created false hopes in Morocco.
