The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
Steady, structured dialogue with Rabat is exactly how serious security partners operate, covering terrorism, cyber threats, nonproliferation and crises stretching from the Sahel to Ukraine. Keeping these channels alive, alternating between capitals, builds the trust that no angry resolution ever could. A partnership anchored in multilateralism and international law delivers far more lasting stability than public finger-pointing.
Establishment-critical narrative
A security dialogue that skips the worst border breach in the bloc's history in Ceuta is theater, not diplomacy. Hundreds of millions in migration money keep flowing to Rabat while a Spanish city drowns in the consequences and member states slap checks on each other. Real partnership requires accountability at the fence, not polite paragraphs about Iran and the Sahel.
