The unprecedented migratory crisis that Ceuta is currently experiencing has obviously forced the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs to urgently summon Morocco's ambassador to Madrid, Karima Benyaich, for «consultations», reveals La Sexta. The move comes as the Spanish Foreign Minister said on Monday that Morocco was using the migration card to pressure the left-wing coalition government following the reception of Brahim Ghali in a hospital in Logroño. The Moroccan diplomat had already been summoned «urgently» in December by the Secretary of State at the Foreign Ministry, Cristina Gallach, to notify her of the Spanish government's protest following Saadeddine El Othmani's statements on Ceuta and Melilla. Madrid then asked for «explanations» from the Moroccan diplomat, specifying that «Spain expects all its partners to respect its sovereignty and its territorial integrity».
