Who Gains from Rapid Border Crossings into Ceuta
The article discusses the incident of approximately 75,000 migrants flooding across Spain's border with Ceuta, most of whom eventually returned. This event occurs in a context where several countries use migration as a tool of demographic and political strategy. Spain considered that its security forces were effective and capable of preventing the influx if they had wished to do so. Ceuta and Melilla remain unresolved issues between Morocco and Spain, with Morocco demanding their return since gaining independence. Furthermore, the incident raises warnings that the matter also relates to Spain’s stance on Western Sahara and its relations with Morocco. Experts believe that regional and international tensions—including Morocco's support for its allies like the United States and Israel—may contribute to escalating tensions. This underscores the importance of security cooperation between Madrid and Rabat. It is also noted that Spain achieved an economic growth rate of 3.2% in 2024, outperforming France and Germany, with a strong labor market and a thriving tourism sector, reinforcing its economic standing despite political and security tensions.
