The Government's New 'Public Idealista' Positions Ceuta and Melilla as Disputed Territories and Western Sahara as Moroccan

The Spanish Government presented on Monday a new public real estate portal, a kind of state "Idealista" for renting State-owned housing. The service is managed by the state housing company Casa 47.

The portal presents a significant cartographic anomaly. The map used in the search engine shows Ceuta and Melilla represented with discontinuous lines on their borders with Morocco, which indicates that they are disputed territories.

Furthermore, Western Sahara appears represented as an integral part of Moroccan territory, without any border being drawn to separate the two territories.

These cartographic representations contrast with the official Spanish position regarding the status of Ceuta, Melilla, and Western Sahara, raising questions about how the new state portal represents Spanish borders.
