Spain Summons Moroccan Ambassador Over Ceuta, Melilla Sovereignty Claims

Spanish PM Sánchez condemned Moroccan ministerial statements asserting sovereignty over Ceuta and Melilla, and confirmed the Moroccan ambassador was summoned on August 21. This escalates a diplomatic dispute amid a migrant crisis in Ceuta, marking a rare direct confrontation over the enclaves' status. The incident signals potential strain in bilateral relations, though Morocco's official position remains unchanged.
