World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported4m ago
The Spanish government has officially rejected recent claims made by Moroccan Justice Minister Abdellatif Ouahbi regarding the status of the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. Spanish authorities emphasized that the country's territorial integrity is not a subject for negotiation and will not be discussed with any external party. This response follows a series of statements from the Moroccan minister that challenged the sovereignty of the two territories.
In response to the diplomatic friction, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the Partido Popular, publicly affirmed that Ceuta and Melilla are integral parts of Spain. He stated that the cities are not open to negotiation and must be defended as Spanish territory. The government's stance reflects a broader consensus in Madrid regarding the non-negotiable nature of these borders.
