EU Parliament Accuses Morocco of Hybrid Warfare Against Spain Over Ceuta Migration

This accusation, while based on parliamentary resolution language and not yet independently corroborated, reflects a hardening of EU rhetoric and political divisions regarding migration policy. Spain's government faces domestic criticism and is attempting to internationalize the dispute at the UN.
