Morocco’s Istiqlal Party has called for a comprehensive national assessment of the root causes of incidents linked to irregular migration around Ceuta and Melilla. In a statement, it said the response should involve political, economic and social actors, rather than being the sole responsibility of the state.

The party also called for Morocco’s image to be protected and for any instrumentalisation of these events against the country or its national causes, particularly territorial integrity, to be rejected. It wants the crisis to strengthen trust between citizens and their institutions, with dignity, youth empowerment, social cohesion and territorial justice among the priorities.
