It was indeed an attack.

The trains and other public transports to bring these people there were free that day for that specific destination.

You don't happen to have a reliable source for this ludicrous claim?
Source?
I think this is a misunderstanding of having free public transportation during certain national holidays, and the perpetrators using such perks.
50.000 people all trying to infiltrate a country, can not be a random actionn. That was coordinated.
Probably, but does not mean a state organized it. So if there was free transportation just for this day just for that route -> strong indicator of Morocco involved.

So, I a remain curious to the base of the claim, but so far it rather seems rumors.

I was commenting about the free transportation question.

Regarding how such a flood happen, I don’t know, but someone should investigate it for sure.

Forgive the linked page, but I couldn't quickly find other profiles that posted this, since I don't use twitter

I don't think a ragebait twitter profile counts as a reliable source.
The source is the video, not the profile. Are you claiming it's fake?
The upthread HN claim was that this "was an attack".

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.
The video shows a small number of people on a small number of truck beds calmly going about a roundabout.

No visible attack, no proof that the people visible are "thousands of illegal migrants" nor of where they are or where they are headed.

Are you claiming this video shows free trains for immigrants?

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.

You are very picky.
I hope that was irony?
Yes.
