Survey: Spaniards say Ceuta crisis could trigger armed conflict with Morocco

A recent survey shows that 58% of Spaniards fear a conflict with Morocco over Ceuta and Melilla in the next decade. The fear is highest among young people, with 75% of 18-24 year olds believing a conflict is likely. The survey also found that 3 in 4 Spaniards see Morocco as a real threat to Spain's territorial integrity, and 80% consider Morocco a moderate to significant risk to national security. King Felipe VI is visiting Ceuta and Melilla, a move being closely watched by both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar.
