Morocco Denies Electoral Pressure
A source in the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that Rabat warned Spain days before the migration crisis that occurred in Ceuta on July 30, 2026. This warning related to a Spanish Supreme Court ruling that deemed the immediate repatriation procedures inapplicable to migrants held at sea, which weakened bilateral cooperation in combating irregular migration. The source stated that changing the rules for handling migrants threatens shared responsibilities and emphasized that both parties must bear their respective obligations. He underscored that Morocco does not act under pressure or coercion and reaffirmed its commitment to monitoring migration and cooperating with Spain, despite political criticisms and some Spanish politicians exploiting the events for electoral gains. Additionally, he explained that coordination between Morocco and Spain continues despite critical statements, affirming that the roots of the crisis are based on prior warnings regarding the judicial impacts on bilateral cooperation.
