The Ceuta crisis was not engineered by Morocco, as much of the Spanish press and opposition have suggested. It exposed the structural weakness of the Alaouite monarchy, which had already faced a summer of youth revolt in 2025 -the GenZ 212 protests over healthcare and education- and had answered it only with repression.
