SPAIN: TENSIONS RISING AT BORDERS OF CEUTA AND MELILLA
(ANSAmed) - MADRID - Tensions are rising at the borders of the Spanish enclaves in Morocco, Ceuta and Melilla.
Since last weekend a committee that claims the ''liberation'' of the enclaves started putting up banners reading ''Occupied cities''.
According to El Pais, posters with ''occupied'' written on it in Spanish, French or Arabic appeared last weekend on the access roads to Findeq, a few kilometres from the border of Ceuta, after in April similar banners were spotted at the Moroccan customs house at the border of Melilla.
Spanish diplomatic protests to remove the banners have failed.
The first to follow the example of the Melilla customs house was the mayor of Beni Enzar, a town with 25,000 inhabitants close to the enclave's border, who has decided that all the Municipality's documents must include the statement ''occupied city''.
He has also tried, so far in vain, to get other Moroccan municipalities to follow his example.
At the border of Beni Enzar, the main access road to the city of Melilla, a few dozen Moroccan citizens demonstrated last Friday against the visit by the President of the People's Party, Mariano Rajoy, to a regional conference of his party in the Spanish enclave.
The border had to be closed for more than two hours due to the protest.
The spokesman of the city of Melilla, Daniel Conesa, has asked the Spanish central government to take diplomatic steps to ask the Moroccan authorities to ban demonstrations that lead to the closing of the border.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
