What would overturn it

A Frontex, Europol, or European Commission statement confirming personnel/resource deployment to Ceuta; a further Spanish complaint that the EU has not responded would flip this false.

The verdict

Hit  Resolved 14 Sep 26.

On September 9-10, within the two-week window, the European Commission formally unblocked EUR114.7M in emergency funding and announced expanded Frontex support for Ceuta -- continued Standing Corps deployment, maritime assets, and Eurosur information-sharing -- directly responsive to Spain's Aug 28 request, after a bumpier stretch where the routine summer Minerva operation lapsed on schedule Sept 2.

As logged at issue

Likely that Frontex or Europol formally deploys personnel or resources to Ceuta within two weeks of Spain's August 28 request (by September 12) — the EU has a track record of responding to formal member-state asks at this scale, and Spain's request follows a documented escalation to soldier-directed violence that raises the political cost of a slow answer; no Frontex/Europol deployment announcement by September 12 would flip this false.
