In the latest @sobremesapod.bsky.social, I discuss the Spanish gov's mismanagement of the aftermath of the Ceuta surge and how there can no solution without transferring migrants to the Spanish mainland. The 1,500 unaccompanied children that arrived July 30/31 can't be cared for in a city of 80,000.

Sanchez's wager is that Spain has more to gain from adapting to the new geography of global economic power than it does from clinging to the old Atlantic order. Ceuta, however, is a reminder that such a wager is fraught with danger My op-ed in The Guardian today: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Much controversy around Christopher Nolan’s new “Odyssey” movie focused on the identity of the cast. Yet the real problem was its production, and the shooting of the film in Western Sahara under illegal Moroccan occupation.
