Morocco uses Sánchez's agony to advance its national project

The Spanish government has weakened every aspect of its foreign policy, with Morocco taking advantage of this weakness. Around 80,000 people entered Ceuta in a hybrid war-style invasion, which the government has tried to pass off as a migration crisis, blaming mafias, influencers, and opposition parties. The government's inability to protect its citizens and interests, particularly in Ceuta, has raised concerns, and its alliances with countries like Morocco have made Spain vulnerable.

The government's decision to change its stance on Western Sahara in 2022, aligning with Morocco's views, has been seen as a sign of Spain being blackmailed by Morocco. Morocco is pursuing its goal of becoming a regional power in North Africa and the Western Mediterranean, while Spain's actions have made it a less reliable partner.
