What is driving speculation about events in Ceuta, what has been said by figures like Massie, and what do we know so far? Representative Massie shared a social media post several days after the incident, drawing a line between the events in Ceuta and a House appropriations committee report attached to a bill, HR 8595. “GOP Congress voted to give Morocco $40 mil and lent credibility to their claim to Ceuta,” Massie said on August 3. “Republicans paid $40 MILLION of your tax dollars to Morocco to invade Spain,” Greene said. It follows this sentence with another expressing support for “diplomatic engagement between Morocco and Spain on the future status of Ceuta and Melilla”.
