EU's Dual Approach to Morocco Migration
The article addresses the divergence between the European Parliament's and the European Commission's positions regarding migration from Morocco, especially in the context of the Melilla crisis. On September 17, the Parliament issued a strongly worded resolution calling for strengthened border measures and halting Union funding in cases of non-cooperation. Meanwhile, a few days later, the Commission reaffirmed the strategic relationship with Morocco and reported a 42% reduction in irregular flows in 2025 and a 34% decrease in the first half of 2026. This disagreement reflects a balance between political pressure, which raises the stakes, and the Union's interests in border and migration management. At the same time, close cooperation continues among Morocco, Spain, and European partners to ensure stability, without severing ties or ending collaboration with Morocco, which remains a key partner on this issue.
