Spanish Parliament rejects Vox proposal on Melilla and Ceuta
The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Spanish House of Representatives rejected a proposal submitted by the right-wing "Vox" party, which called for issuing a parliamentary stance affirming Spain's full sovereignty over the cities of Ceuta and Melilla, as well as the rocks and islands located in North Africa. The proposal was opposed by the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, Ciudadanos, the Catalan Republican Left, Bildu, and Podemos, while the Popular Party abstained from voting, leading to its rejection. The initiative was introduced amid security tensions and migration issues experienced in Ceuta. It demanded a condemnation of Moroccan statements, which the party considered to be "doubting" Spain's sovereignty, and called for affirming Spanish sovereignty through clear demands to Morocco and diplomatic handling of territorial claims. Meanwhile, the Spanish government continues to focus on maintaining cooperation with Morocco in the fields of migration and security.
