King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia have commenced an official visit to Ceuta, marking the first royal visit in 19 years. The trip occurs two and a half months following a significant influx of approximately 70,000 people into Ceuta, triggering an ongoing crisis. This event unfolded as Spain heads towards an election period fraught with challenges for the government. The royal visit is anticipated to address the recent crisis and demonstrate Spanish sovereignty over Ceuta. Reactions are being closely monitored both within the electoral campaign and from Morocco. The timing of the visit is notable, given the unresolved tensions stemming from the border crossing incident and the current political climate.
