The bell and the Moroccan cat

Everyone with two fingers of forehead has a sufficiently formed hypothesis about who instigated the massive displacement of Moroccans to the Spanish enclave in Africa of Ceuta and, suddenly, their sudden return home. But expressing it out loud are figs from another basket and that is why this Tuesday a good part of the front pages try to say without saying, or focus on who says and, also, on who is silent. For example, El Mundo is the most direct: “The EU points to Morocco but considers giving more aid to Rabat”. Others, like La Razón, cling to Robles – the only socialist minister they treat with kid gloves for her military aspect – to say that “She breaks the position of exculpating Morocco”. The trick is that there is another character in this series who has also taken great care not to anger the Alawite regime: Alberto Núñez Feijóo. And, of course, the most Sanchista newspapers are furious about it: “Feijóo avoids pointing to Morocco” (La Vanguardia) or “The PP rejects pointing to Rabat” (El Periódico). The gray popular leader knows that angering Mohammed VI is not convenient for him, if in a few months he has to be president in Spain. He must remember the news/reminder that Abc dedicated to him last December: “Rabat will punish Feijóo with more immigration if he corrects Sánchez's turn regarding the Sahara”. The archives, always a vaccine against hypocritical gestures.

Meanwhile, Alerta Digital gets ahead of them all on the (ultra) right and continues to live its own particular war movie. “Ceuta cannot afford to turn Spaniards who come to defend it against the invasion of Morocco into enemies,” says one of the headlines intended to exonerate the neo-fascists who went there to beat up migrants. But I'll stick with this striking piece of news: “Some slices of mortadella and a small bread roll, the food for our soldiers and police after hours of service to guarantee security in Ceuta”. May Saint Chopped protect them, if they believe that this is the worst drama in the city.
