Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez vehemently denied allegations that Morocco exerted influence over his government’s handling of affairs in Ceuta. The statement came during an interview on TVE’s ‘Mañaneros 360’ program, coinciding with the release of reports concerning Ceuta. Sánchez asserted that his government will not succumb to any form of “blackmail," directly addressing concerns regarding potential external interference. He maintained the autonomy of decision-making regarding Ceuta, a Spanish autonomous city in North Africa. This denial comes amidst ongoing scrutiny of the relationship between Spain and Morocco, particularly concerning border controls and migration policies related to Ceuta. The released reports are expected to provide further insight into the issues discussed. Sánchez’s strong stance aims to quell any doubts regarding the sovereignty of Spanish governance in Ceuta.
