Première Spanish says it is possible to explain the crisis in Ceuta by the fact that Spain is linked to it

  • Spanish media claim that it is precisely partners in Ceuta who are triggering the crisis in Ceuta, while Italy, in turn, is linked to it by criticism of Spain.
  • Meloni said about the alleged reason for the crisis in Ceuta that the European Union should “take action” immediately.
  • In materials, it is stated that the historic super-reach of Spain to Morocco, dating back to 2002, involved Perejil Island (Leila Island).

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said, citing that in the crisis in Ceuta he has partners in Spain, that it is “not easy” for Spain, and that it is linked to the situation. For this, he referred to BBC material, in which it is explained how the Spanish side, in particular, is linked to the crisis.

The BBC material states that Ceuta is in an area with a number of factors. According to BBC data, the Fratelli d'Italia party published in some cases images of migrants, which were followed by the Mediterranean Sea, and also by the fact that the Spanish side, according to the party, is linked to the crisis.

The BBC material also indicates that Spain has a number of factors that are preventing it from entering the Ceuta area, and, at the same time, it is also not allowed to control the situation. The BBC also adds that Meloni, according to the material, is using her own material, which was sent through a political channel, and the situation is described in detail through the analysis of the case.

According to BBC reporting, the European Union’s crisis in Ceuta is related to the “pull factors” — policies that can “attract” migrants to Europe. The material also notes that, in addition to the fact that Meloni’s term “pull factors” is used in internal disputes within the EU, the analysis of the situation is presented as a topic in which Spain is “open”.

BBC also provides a position from Ceuta, which is about the Spanish side: the video shows that the Spanish side is linked to the crisis. The BBC material also states that it is likely due to the “legitimate reasons for Europe” that Spain is “open”.

According to the information, published in English.Aawsat, the historic context of the Moroccan coast and Spain’s influence is also described. It is noted that, in 2002, when Morocco and Spain were involved in a dispute, the group of Moroccan soldiers took control of Perejil Island (Leila Island). The article also notes that Spain had previously warned that it would not allow the Spanish to be involved in the conflict.

The English.Aawsat material also states that Morocco’s influence is linked to the fact that it has been controlling the flow of migrants from nearby countries, and that Spain is also linked to this issue. According to the article, citing Ignacio Molina from the Elcano Royal Institute, the situation is explained by the fact that Spain is not able to stop the flow of migrants.

English.Aawsat also states that European partners will not be able to stop Spain from doing so, which is why it is necessary to keep the situation under control. It also adds that Spain is “open” to migrants. It is also noted that the number of illegal migrants is about 48,000, and that the number of migrants is about 60,000. The article also notes that France and Italy have already stopped the flow of migrants from their countries.

Meanwhile, it is stated that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Spain, according to English.Aawsat, has named its own partner. The article also states that it is not possible to stop the flow of migrants, and that Spain has not been able to stop them from reaching the sea.
