Who triggered the migration crisis in Ceuta, and why? The French paper notes that the mass arrival of Moroccan citizens in the Spanish enclave came amid a warming of relations between Madrid and Algeria. For the first time since 2020, Spain’s prime minister traveled to Algiers, where he met President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on July 20. Whatever the cause, the Ceuta crisis has reenergized the international alliance of so-called “sovereigntists”: from the US to Europe, an entire front has coordinated to attack Pedro Sánchez’s Spain and anyone defending migrant-friendly policies. La Repubblica also notes that Russia has gotten involved, activating the propaganda channels it controls across Europe, particularly in Spain and Italy, around the Ceuta crisis.
