Spanish Deputy Warns of Morocco's Growing Tensions

The member of the Spanish parliament delivered a speech regarding recent events in Ceuta, emphasizing that Morocco exploited the migration issue as a pressure tool against Madrid—particularly during its rapprochement with Algeria. She pointed out that the humanitarian crisis in Ceuta is linked to Morocco's role in inciting it, and that it is being used as a means of geopolitical leverage—especially through the exploitation of migration and straits conflicts as part of a strategic conflict, with special focus on the Strait of Gibraltar and its significance to the United States and Israel. She warned that Morocco aims to expand its influence within the framework of the "Greater Morocco" project and to repeat expansionist behaviors similar to those of the "Greater Israel" project. She called for a more firm redefinition of relations with Morocco—particularly regarding the Western Sahara issue—highlighting that weakening relations with Algeria, along with Spain’s previous concession regarding the Sahara in 2021, harms its interests. She stressed the importance of cooperating with Algeria across multiple fields. Additionally, she noted that Spain has taken steps to restore citizenship for Sahrawis born during the colonial era—an action that displeases Morocco and affirms an official recognition of the Sahrawi people's rights. She criticized Morocco’s approach, asserting that the Moroccan people need a popular uprising to end the monarchy’s dominance. She recommended reevaluating Spain’s relations with Morocco, moving away from complacency, and sending a clear message about sovereignty—especially amid the ongoing crisis. She attributed the failure of international law and the weakness of global solidarity to these issues, considering resistance as the last option for oppressed peoples.
