From Juan Carlos I to Felipe VI: Two Ways of Managing Crises with Morocco (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is something deeply revealing in the fact that, two months after the mass entry of migrants into Ceuta, Felipe VI decided to publicly bring up what happened and describe as “unacceptable” the entry of tens of thousands of people across a border he defined not only as Spanish, but also as European. It is true that the King did not name Morocco, nor did he use any wording that might imply Moroccan responsibility for what happened. But in a constitutional monarchy where the head of state spea
The PP’s Cynicism Toward Morocco: From Rajoy’s Rhetoric to Feijóo’s Accusations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nineteen years ago, in an interview with the Spanish newspaper El País, Morocco’s then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Taieb Fassi Fihri, stated that, for relations between Morocco and Spain to be stable and based on mutual trust, it was essential that “Morocco cease to be used as a weapon in Spain’s domestic politics.” His words have taken on renewed relevance in the context of the campaign to demonize Morocco that we have been witnessing for more than six weeks. The Popular Party (PP), well aware
Morocco’s Migration Trap: Condemned If It Cracks Down, Blamed If It Doesn’t (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since the mass entry of migrants into Ceuta on July 30 and 31, the Spanish press has published a flood of news articles, op-eds, and analyses sharing the common denominator of questioning Morocco’s conduct and feeding suspicion about its behavior during those two days.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s ‘Evidence’ Does Not Support His ‘Hybrid War’ Fallacy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The leaders of Spain’s Partido Popular (People’s Party), including its president, Alberto Núñez Feijóo; the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso; and the president of Ceuta, Juan Vivas, remain determined to poison relations between Morocco and Spain and push them to the limit. In their eagerness to demonstrate to Spanish voters that they mean business when it comes to their obsession with Morocco, that they “will not give up” in the face of Rabat’s supposed “blackmail” and tha
Ceuta, Melilla: Spain’s Inversion of History and the Coming Reckoning with Morocco (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The ongoing Morocco-bashing campaign that Spanish media and political elites have unleashed since the July 29-30 mass rush into Ceuta has thrust back into the spotlight a territorial dispute that Spain would prefer the world forget exists at all. Indeed, in the avalanche of coverage they have devoted to the “españolidad” of the two enclaves, a curiously overwhelming consensus has taken hold among Spanish commentators, journalists, and politicians. As they see it, Ceuta and Melilla “have never be
