Robles answers the president of the Moroccan Senate: "With total forcefulness, Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish"

MADRID, 10 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Defense Minister, Margarita Robles, answered this Monday to the president of the Moroccan Senate that the Government of Spain has nothing to discuss about the Spanishness of Ceuta and Melilla. "With absolute and total forcefulness, Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish; there is nothing more to discuss," she said.

In an interview in Cuatro collected by Europa Press, Robles responded in this way when asked about the statements by the president of the Moroccan Senate, Enaam Mayara, considering that both cities "occupied" by Spain will be recovered in the future by means of the negotiation "without resorting to arms".

The fourth highest authority in Morocco and a member of the leadership of the nationalist Istiqlal party spoke in this way in an act organized by the female branch of her formation, precisely on the occasion of the first anniversary of the start of the new stage in the relationship after the meeting of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, with Mohamed VI in Rabat on April 7, 2022.

"The Government is clear, there is no debate on this matter, there is no possibility of debate or anything else to discuss," said Margarita Robles when asked if the Executive of Pedro Sánchez will request a rectification from Morocco.

"I feel very Ceuta and Melilla because I feel Spanish", the Minister of Defense limited herself to answering, without going into assessing the "declarations of each one" and remembering that she herself has visited both cities.
