The revival of the Ceuta and Melilla Liberation Committee reaches the Spanish Parliament

Following the departure of Vox’s local branch in Melilla, deputies and senators from the far-right party have taken over the matter, according to Iberian media. They are now urging Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s government to clarify its capacity to respond to potential actions by a Moroccan NGO. To recall, adverse weather conditions on Saturday prevented the Committee for the Liberation of Ceuta and Melilla from carrying out an operation on Leila Island (known in Spain as Perejil).

Vox parliamentarians are calling on the central government to present a detailed «report» on the situation in Ceuta and Melilla, citing what they describe as «annexation threats from Morocco».

Both parliamentary groups argue that «relations with Morocco are at a historic low». Vox denounces what it calls the «unilateral» closure of customs in Ceuta and Melilla, and the Committee’s alleged «intention to invade Perejil islet», framing these developments as «an economic blockade on one hand, and a sovereignty threat on the other». In response, the party is demanding that the government ensure the «protection of Spanish sovereign territories, including Perejil, Alhucemas, Vélez de la Gomera, Chafarinas, Ceuta, and Melilla».

Meanwhile, the latest voter intention survey by the state-run Center for Sociological Research (CIS), published last week, places Vox in third place with 18.9% support, behind the PSOE at 27% and the People's Party at 26.5%.
