The story that turned September 17th into Melilla Day: secret pacts, wooden walls, and night attacks

On Thursday, September 17, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez issued a formal congratulatory message on the occasion of the Day of Melilla. In his address, Sánchez characterized the autonomous city as an example of diversity and urged citizens to foster a society grounded in respect, dialogue, and social peace.

Sánchez further advocated for the city to leverage its inherent differences as a source of cultural and social wealth rather than a catalyst for division. He emphasized a commitment to inclusive governance, calling for continued efforts to ensure that no member of the community is left behind.
