New Post: Spaniards See Morocco as the Main External Threat

1 'Spaniards See Morocco as the Main External Threat' (ABC de Sevilla) "Since […] February 2022, Russia has held second place in Spaniards’ perception of foreign threats." "Morocco’s rise as a perceived threat has been steady across all respondents: from 35% in 2021, to 49% in 2024, and reaching 55% this year." "Morocco exhibits a degree of rhetorical aggressiveness toward Spain […][and a] "historic claim" over the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla." "Morocco is not considered a threat that falls under NATO’s scope." 2 'Morocco Unilaterally Shuts Down Melilla Commercial Customs Post Again After Six Months of Operation' (Diario de Cádiz) "[The president of Melilla stated that] ‘Morocco is the one calling the shots at the Spanish border, that’s crystal clear’. […] The customs post was also shut without warning in 2018, shortly after the PSOE came to power." Translated from Spanish. 9 July 2025
