Morocco Leverages Felipe VI's Official Congratulations During Diplomatic Crisis
In a time of heightened diplomatic strain between Spain and Morocco, primarily due to the ongoing migratory crisis in Ceuta, the Moroccan News Agency (MAP), a government entity, has made public the contents of a congratulatory message sent by King Felipe VI to King Mohamed VI on the occasion of the Throne Day celebrated on July 30. According to the Spanish Royal House, this official communication was scheduled and processed several days in advance and had already been conveyed through the Spanish Embassy in Morocco before the surge of migrants began arriving by swimming across the Tarajal beach.
This release of the congratulatory message occurs at a particularly fragile moment for Spain, as the mass arrival of migrants has painted a picture of significant national weakness on the international stage. The situation has reignited concerns regarding Spain's ability to manage its borders effectively, further complicating the already tense relations with Morocco.
