The President of Ceuta, Juan Vivas, speaking on Tuesday at a diplomatic forum in Madrid, dismissed concerns that Morocco might launch a new Green March to reclaim the Spanish-controlled enclave. «I have no fear—none at all—that Ceuta faces any risk of a possible Green March», he stated. Vivas warned that spreading such speculation does more harm than good. «Circulating baseless claims like these only has the opposite effect of what we want to achieve», he explained, adding that such rumors «undermine the population's sense of belonging to Ceuta, which needs stability to move forward». He stressed that Ceuta's sovereignty is firmly protected by Spain's constitutional order and state institutions, regardless of the political party in power. «Ceuta is part of Spain—because the law confirms it, history affirms it, and, most importantly, because the people of Ceuta, all of them, want it to be», he insisted. Vivas's remarks align with those of Spain's Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares, who recently reaffirmed Ceuta and Melilla's status. «Their status is crystal clear—they are part of Spain, and that is indisputable», Albares told the Iberian press.
