Foreign Minister Arancha González Laya stressed yesterday Wednesday that the Spanish sovereignty of Sebta and Melilla “is not in danger and will not be”. She firmly insisted that the two enclaves will continue to constitute the EU’s external border in the face of Morocco’s annexation demands.
Gonzalez Laya also insisted on guaranteeing the belonging to Spain of Sebta and Melilla during the control session in Parliament to the question posed by the MP for Vox, Teresa Lopez on the risk that Morocco insists in her speech that these are “occupied Moroccan cities”.
