ULTIMATUM to Pedro Sánchez to REVEAL HIS DEAL with Morocco

The Instituto de Política Social (IMSE) issued a 72-hour ultimatum to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez demanding the immediate publication of all secret agreements, minutes, and commitments made with Morocco since 2022.

The demand follows a major geopolitical and humanitarian crisis triggered by a sudden influx of over 60,000 migrants into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta.

Context of the Ultimatum

• The Trigger: In late July and early August 2026, tens of thousands of migrants crossed into Ceuta. Political opponents and civil organizations claim Morocco used mass migration as a geopolitical tool to pressure Spain.
• The Accusation: Critics accuse the Sánchez administration of extreme opacity regarding its shifting diplomacy with Rabat. The IMSE demands a clear answer to what Spain has conceded to Morocco in exchange for border control cooperation.
• The 2022 Shift: The controversy stems back to March 2022, when Sánchez broke decades of Spanish neutrality by backing Morocco's autonomy plan over the disputed Western Sahara territory.

Key Demands from IMSE

• Full Disclosure: Immediate publication of all hidden annexes, documents, and pacts regarding Ceuta, Melilla, borders, customs, and Western Sahara.
• Parliamentary Audit: An independent legislative investigation into Spain's dealings with Morocco.
• Sovereignty Assurances: A formal rectification from Rabat after Moroccan institutions repeatedly referred to Ceuta and Melilla as "occupied cities".

Broader Fallout

The crisis has caused massive domestic and international friction. Domestically, the opposition Partido Popular (PP) is hammering Sánchez for failing to anticipate the border surge. Internationally, the fallout prompted Italy to unilaterally shut its borders to Spanish travelers over Schengen security concerns, leading to an aggressive diplomatic spat between Madrid and Rome.
