Ceuta, from banal tactics to a strategic outlook
Spain must take into account in its migration policy the extreme sensitivity of partners and allies at present.
There are crises that put those in government to the test. Others, due to their scope, affect the entire country. A few of them affect all of Europe. The one in Ceuta belongs to that combined triple category. Two weeks ago, more than 70,000 Moroccans risked their lives —more than a hundred of them lost it, without there being any recorded consternation on the part of their authorities— and the stability of the city, Spain's international credibility and the EU's external security were all at stake.
