A ver figura... Melilla has been Spanish since 1497, Ceuta since 1668, when it passed from Portugal to the Spanish Crown. When Castile took Melilla, the town lay in ruins and under no one's effective control — the Wattasids of Fez and the Zayyanids of Tlemcen disputed it without holding it. Nothing was seized from a Moroccan state, because none was there. The Alaouite dynasty, the one that reigns today, would not come to power until the 1660s, nearly two centuries later.
But Spain's title does not rest on that date, and that is precisely its strength. It rests on five centuries of continuous, peaceful and effective possession, with a population that holds Spanish citizenship, votes in Spanish elections and sits in the Spanish Congress. That is acquisitive prescription, the firmest basis for sovereignty international law recognises.
Morocco does not claim dynastic inheritance, because it cannot. It claims geographic contiguity and a decolonisation framework. That is where the case runs into trouble: Ceuta and Melilla were never colonies. They are metropolitan territory with the same institutions as Cádiz or Málaga, and their inhabitants have never asked to change flags. Decolonisation is settled by self-determination, not by proximity on a map.
Five centuries, and a citizenry that confirms it every time there is a ballot box. Contiguity does not move that.
Recordatorio de que el Servicio Jesuita a Migrantes de Melilla denunció por odio a unos españoles que se quejaban de los menas marroquíes. Absueltos en 1.ª instancia, los jesuitas recurrieron y recurrieron la sentencia hasta lograr 7 condenas de cárcel. https://t.co/w2hamfWcKL
Señores y señoras de este nuestro tercer mundo. Hace una semana ardió todo y no vino nadie. En ese momento dejamos de tener teléfono más allá del 3G, televisión TDT, internet de cualquier tipo, cajeros, pagos con tarjeta, pedidos en farmacias, etc. etc. hasta hoy que seguimos igual. Gracias a la puta mierda de empresa que es @Telefonica@movistar_es que no contestan ni al teléfono a la vez que no dejan de perder pasta desde que pusieron de Presidente a Marc Murtra, un cliente de las saunas de Begoña Gómez, a la par que amigo de @sanchezcastejon .Así nos va.
Sánchez es un traidor, un corrupto y un indecente. Actúa como el enemigo del pueblo español. La emergencia nacional solo puede resolverse echándole y sentándole en el banquillo.
