Imbroda Defends Spanish Sovereignty Following Royal Visit Confirmation

The President of Melilla, Juan José Imbroda, has expressed his pride in the upcoming visit of the King to Ceuta and Melilla, scheduled for October 13 and 14. He remarked, "It seems just and reasonable; the King visits here as he would any other part of Spain, whether it be Cuenca or Valladolid." His comments come in response to Morocco's claims regarding the sovereignty of Ceuta and Melilla, regions that the Moroccan government refers to as 'occupied territory.' Imbroda firmly stated, "This has never been Morocco; in the 1950s, they invented the concept of the Maghreb, and since then, they believe everything is theirs. We have always been Spanish."

Imbroda's concerns extend beyond Moroccan claims; he emphasized a more pressing issue regarding the Spanish government itself. "What genuinely worries me is the Spanish government. We cannot afford to have a policy of indecision," he asserted. His comments reflect a broader anxiety regarding the political stability in Spain, especially in light of recent discussions about potential early elections following the rejection of housing decrees in the Congress of Deputies.

Political Turmoil and Calls for Elections

Regarding the potential for early elections under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Imbroda has taken a clear stance. He stated, "He should do it; he has been delaying for too long, and there are no budgets in place." Imbroda criticized the current administration’s handling of the last eight years as a "total disaster," and highlighted the importance of addressing the political crisis in Catalonia, where he believes that the ruling party is losing ground. "If they vote in favor, they are lost; they must oppose it to avoid being overshadowed by Junts," he remarked.

Imbroda concluded by expressing his frustration over the lack of a national budget, describing it as an "authentic disaster." He accused Sánchez of merely trying to survive day by day, extending his term without any concrete plans for governance. This precarious situation raises significant questions about the future political landscape in Spain, especially as tensions with Morocco continue to simmer.
