Overview
- Spain and Morocco signed cooperation agreements on digital transition, disaster prevention, agriculture and counter‑extremism during a high‑level meeting in Madrid.
- The summit was announced on short notice and held behind closed doors with no joint press conference or questions allowed.
- The joint declaration referenced general principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity without explicitly affirming Spain’s sovereignty over Ceuta and Melilla.
- Commercial customs facilities for Ceuta and Melilla remain largely non‑operational nearly a year after their official opening, according to the coverage.
- Domestic tensions escalated as the PP filed Senate questions on the talks, Sumar ministers were not invited to the meeting, and Canary Coalition warned it could withdraw support after the Canary Islands were excluded.
