Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced this Thursday, in the Congress of Deputies, a set of three measures aimed at reinforcing the European dimension of Ceuta and Melilla. The measures may irritate Morocco, a country that has been pressuring Spain on the status of these two Spanish autonomous cities on the African continent. Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish territories located on the north coast of Africa, and their membership in the European Union has been the subject of debate. Sánchez's measures aim to consolidate the European character of these cities, at a time when relations between Spain and Morocco on this issue are under tension.
