They already regret the loss of Ceuta and Melilla

In chess, thinking four, seven or eighteen moves in advance is a commendable skill and even essential to approach the game with a minimum of conditions. In the press, on the other hand, looks towards the future are much more dangerous and often serve up, under the pretext of analysis, over-the-top fabrications. This is what we found on the cover of theAbc today, with the headline "Military and diplomats warn of Sánchez's anti-Trump effect on Ceuta and Melilla." In the billiards game that the newspaper imagines, Rabat takes advantage of the good relations it maintains with the United States, and that both autonomous cities are not under the umbrella of NATO, to recover them. And of course; this would be the final humiliation, or at least the most important since the loss of Cuba in 1898. And we already know that the cavern cannot miss any opportunity to intone a lament of a decadent empire if on top of that a socialist can be blamed for nailing the finishing blow to the bull of national pride.

That this is the second and last front page story - a simple speculation with gaseous sources because the military is nervous - is frankly surprising; and a declaration of intentions, given that the rest of the press included in prominent positions its assessment of the protest day of 8-M. And it is interesting, by the way, that some of the newspapers that dig the most into the division of the different branches of feminism are the ones that display the most decorative purple bows on the front page, among other hyper-effective measures to abolish machismo. It is evident that the right-wing media has managed to condition the feminist agenda of the day and has managed to make people talk more about internal confrontations than about grievances and glass ceilings to break. They do know how to play master moves.
