The Spanish government remains silent in response to escalating threats from Morocco, which continues to label Ceuta and Melilla as “occupied” cities. These statements are accompanied by criticism of Spain’s migration policies and warnings of a potential suspension of the extradition agreement between the two nations. Despite the heightened rhetoric, the Spanish executive has not publicly addressed Morocco’s claims, maintaining its position that Morocco is a "reliable partner." This lack of response is drawing scrutiny as tensions rise between the two countries. The repetitive nature of Morocco’s grievances suggests a deliberate escalation of the diplomatic conflict. It remains unclear how Spain intends to address the situation and de-escalate tensions, or if it will continue to avoid a direct response.
