    Ceuta and Melilla were Spanish territory long before Morocco existed. And they are as Spanish as Asturias.

    And if you are talking about liberating, talk about Western Sahara and the Moroccan occupation.

      Don’t threaten me with a good time… vive el Polisario!

      spoiler

      Morroco, for a long time, has a shit comprador state of a nation (subordinated to Israel, U.S, West Europe, and other European, economic and foreign policy interests. ( Eg. look at their recognition of Israel and their obedience to controlling Ceuta and Melilla’s borders for Spain’s interest )

      So I think it’s better if it’d at least become Algerie-style gov’t (national liberation, socialist-oriented economy, and secular, progressive anti-monarchial culture)

        And, by the way, if that’s because a European country has a part in Africa, ask Türkiye to “give back” its European part. And France has to give back all its overseas territories. And UK has to give back the Malvinas.🤦‍♂️

                  If you want an honest answer about giving back Turkish territory in Europe, sure, they might as well since it makes little difference to the people there anyways as they’re all still going to be subject to US/EU domination either way. If you want to talk about what Turkey should actually withdraw from, they should return what they illegally occupy from Syria first.

            Before Ceuta and Melilla were Spanish territory they were Portuguese.

            And if we go back, we go full back. Let’s return all the Mediterranean to the Romans.

        Why not “liberate” a part of you’re own country. Give it to some other country. It doesn’t matter if everyone there doesn’t want it. Fuck them all and give it to another country.🤦‍♂️ Everyone in Ceuta and Melilla are as Spaniards as someone from Madrid. It’d be like asking the US to give back Alaska.
