Spanish press's stance on Moroccans and King Mohammed VI
The recent crisis in Ceuta has triggered an escalation in the Spanish media's rhetoric towards Morocco, where political aspects have been sidelined and the focus has shifted to cultural and religious criticisms, thereby deepening negative stereotypes about Morocco and Moroccans. Some newspapers, such as "El Debate" and "The Objective," have used language accusing Morocco of conspiracy within Spain, linking Moroccans to crime, and recalling historical references and stereotypes dating back to the period of conflict between the two countries. Additionally, statements from far-right factions have signaled further escalation by describing migrants as an "army of invaders" and making other accusations. Meanwhile, some media outlets like "El País" have concentrated on the humanitarian conditions of the migrants and local solidarity efforts. However, historical memory and preconceived notions still influence the discourse, often exceeding political issues to portray Morocco as a source of civilizational threat—reflecting the lingering influence of the "white man" cultural narrative in media commentary during crises.
