Moroccan advocacy group denies Spanish media reports of border protest plans

The preparatory committee of Morocco’s national advocacy group for territorial unity, known for its campaign to reclaim Ceuta, Melilla, and surrounding islands, has condemned what it calls “systematic disinformation” by certain Spanish media outlets.

In a statement received by Hespress, the committee denied any intention to stage protests at the gates of Ceuta or Melilla to demand the lifting of visa requirements or border openings. It described the claims circulating in Spanish press as “fabrications unsupported by any official source” and stressed that any field mobilization would be formally announced solely by its coordinator, Yahya Yahya.

The committee urged media organizations to verify information prior to publication and held those promoting these falsehoods accountable for “confusing the committee’s civic mission with parallel agendas aimed at undermining Moroccan diplomatic efforts.”

The statement came in response to a fake call for a protest allegedly scheduled for Tuesday at 5 p.m. outside the Spanish Embassy in Rabat.
