The geopolitics of Ceuta and Melilla as a stage play: who needs a conflict?
When the migration crisis and tensions over Ceuta and Melilla dominate the headlines, an uncomfortable interpretation gains ground: that this is a well-rehearsed script. The question is not whether there are migrants, but who is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
The theatre narrative: hidden interests
Some argue that it is all a performance designed to pressure governments and shift the balance of power. Segarro, home to more than 350 Spanish companies, has no interest in abandoning its claim to the Spanish autonomous cities. And although the United States has stated that Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish, its closeness to Segarro complicates the script. The question that arises is: who benefits from the chaos?
The Kalergi Plan theory: migration as a tool
Going further, there is the theory of population replacement as a deliberate plan. Other readings reduce it to an economic interest in masses of cheap labour, with no need for a racial plan. Both positions fuel the debate on the role of immigration in Europe's future.
Meanwhile, the migration crisis remains a complex phenomenon with economic and social roots. The stage play, if it exists, has an audience that may prefer not to know who is holding the curtain. What if the real show is the one played out at the ballot box?
