The National Rifain Party has received official recognition from Spanish authorities for its local branch, a move described by party leader Oussama Redouane as a significant milestone for its political organization in Europe. The party is actively expanding its presence, with existing offices in countries including Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. According to vice-president Youba El Ghadioui, this growth is intended to strengthen connections with the Rifain diaspora and promote their political cause internationally. Political analyst Hamdi Yahdih suggests that this development signals a shift in Spain's stance following recent tensions in Ceuta. He explains that Spanish authorities are increasingly viewing the Rif region as a strategic barrier to mitigate migration-related pressures from Morocco. Meanwhile, Spanish reports confirmed that authorities have identified several members of the Moroccan military involved in an irregular migrant encampment on a beach in Ceuta.
