No fan of the Spanish myself so I think the Moroccan stance is reasonable. The wielding of soft power like
this impresses me.

🇲🇦🇪🇸🇪🇺| Spanish Hypocrisies, Inconsistencies, and Paradoxes
Spain 🇪🇸 maintains Sebta ("Ceuta") and Mlilya ("Melilla"), 2 colonial enclaves in Morocco 🇲🇦, while pursuing the most LAXIST immigration policy in the entire European Union 🇪🇺, regularizing hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants without consultation and in total disconnect from the rest of European countries.
Another Spanish hypocrisy 🇪🇸 consists of parading on the international stage by claiming an anti-colonial stance, exploiting the Palestinian cause 🇵🇸 as a business model and a barely veiled hostility toward the United States 🇺🇸, while being the LAST European country to maintain colonies on African soil.
These untenable contradictions inevitably fuel a pull factor in Morocco and the rest of Africa and the MENA region, with tensions around the management of undocumented migrant flows, becoming UNMANAGEABLE for Morocco 🇲🇦 and the rest of the European Union 🇪🇺.
The decision to regularize hundreds of thousands of irregular migrants is a sovereign choice of Madrid 🇪🇸.
But such a policy has repercussions on Morocco and the entire European area, due to freedom of movement, raising the question of Spain's TOTAL lack of consultation with the other Member States of the European Union 🇪🇺, directly impacted by migratory flows that only transit through Spain.
In this context, it is difficult to expect Morocco 🇲🇦 to prevent its own citizens from going to Sebta and Mlilya, when Rabat considers these two enclaves as Moroccan territories and Spain 🇪🇸 itself FACILITATES the settlement of undocumented migrants on its own territory.
