"There is an elephant in the room that the Spanish government does not want to discuss, which is the role of Morocco"

CNN Portugal5 September 2026 at 16:32

Jurist Gonçalo Dorotea Cevada analyzes the situation in Ceuta and how Europe can deal with the entry of migrants. The article's title suggests there is a topic that the Spanish government avoids addressing publicly: the role of Morocco in the migration issue.

According to Cevada's analysis, Morocco's role is not being discussed by the Spanish executive, functioning as an "elephant in the room." The article focuses on the migration crisis in Ceuta, a Spanish city located in North Africa. The jurist also addresses possible European approaches to managing the entry of migrants.
