Spain and Morocco
Spain scores 52/100 toward Morocco (neutrality or uncertainty), while Morocco scores 38/100 back.
Spain toward Morocco
Spain's PM explicitly cleared Morocco of blame for the Ceuta migrant surge, denied sanction plans, and described ongoing cooperation, but Spain also rejected Morocco's call for sovereignty talks on Ceuta/Melilla and ruled out moving migrants to the mainland, signaling a cautious, transactional neutrality.
Morocco toward Spain
Morocco called for sovereignty talks over Ceuta and Melilla (rejected by Spain), and the mass crossing of 70,000+ migrants created a major bilateral crisis, suggesting Moroccan pressure on Spain even if direct orchestration was denied by Madrid.
