Robles sends a notice to Morocco: “Ceuta and Melilla are not to be touched. They are very Spanish”
The Minister of Defence, who has avoided saying whether she will appear before the Senate, stopped to listen to the fears and reproaches of the people of Ceuta, who are grateful that she has "shown her face".
Defense Minister Margarita Robles arrived in Ceuta on Wednesday with a resounding message for the inhabitants of the autonomous city and, above all, although without openly mentioning it, for Morocco: "Ceuta and Melilla are not to be touched." A statement of strength with which she has sought to dispel fears in the face of rumors about a new attempt at massive entry this weekend.
In a brief press conference, in which she avoided answering whether she would attend the Senate's Defense commission next week, she issued a clear message directly aimed at the people of Ceuta: "What happened on the 30th cannot happen again. Ceuta and Melilla are very Spanish. We have Armed Forces professionals who have been working for 11 days to support the population of Ceuta and it will continue to be that way. Let the people of Ceuta know that their Armed Forces will be with them. We will not leave them," she said.
