  "account": "In the dying days of the Franco dictatorship, in November 1975, Hassan II promoted the Green March on the Spanish colony of Spanish Sahara, which ultimately led to its occupation to this day. The massive entry of people, mostly Moroccans, in the last days of July 2026 into the autonomous city of Ceuta also involves the instrumentalization of civilians in order to achieve political ends. This instrumentalization is not new and, although it does not have, as it did in 1975, a formal organized call, it does present similarities that need to be assessed, since in both cases the displacement of population towards a territory under Spanish sovereignty or administration appears linked to a clear strategy of pressure on Madrid and to the conversion of the border into a factor of coercion.",
  "summary": "El artículo de El Pais titulado \"La Marcha Verde sobre Ceuta\" compara la situación actual de miles de marroquíes que se han establecido recientemente en Ceuta con la \"Marcha verde sobre Ceuta\" llevada a cabo por el rey Hassan II en noviembre de 1975. En ambas ocurrencias, la entrada masiva de población hacia territorio español parece estar vinculada a una estrategia de presión sobre Madrid y a la conversión de la frontera en un factor de coerción. La comparación destaca cómo ambos eventos involucran la instrumentalización de civiles con fines políticos, aunque la segunda no cuenta con una convocatoria formal organizada como en 1975.",
