Morocco seen as top threat by 55% of Spaniards in 2025 survey
This figure reflects a 6-point increase from 2024, amid ongoing tensions between Madrid and Rabat over issues such as migration, border control, and the Western Sahara conflict, according to Spanish media reports.
While 60% of respondents said they do not perceive any direct external threat to Spain's security, 40% believe there is a risk, particularly among right-wing voters (56%), compared to 38% of centrists and 29% of left-wing respondents.
Meanwhile, the number of people who view Russia as a threat has declined compared to the previous year. In contrast, the perception of the United States as a threat has seen a sharp rise, from 5% in 2024 to 19% in 2025, largely attributed to Donald Trump's return to the presidency.

Polisario turns to UK NGO to counter British media reports on Iran and terrorism links
In the United Kingdom, the task of countering terrorism accusations against the Polisario Front has been taken up by Adala UK, a British legal NGO led by Sidi Ahmed Fadel. A Sahrawi activist, Fadel is a regular participant in meetings of the UN Fourth Committee and sessions of the UN Human Rights Council. Disputing the content of a recent article published by The Telegraph, the association strongly condemned what it described as a «mischaracterisation of the Polisario Front as a terrorist organisation». «We express our deep concern and strong objection to the article recently published by The Telegraph, which calls for the proscription of the Polisario Front as a terrorist organisation and attempts to link the movement with acts of terrorism and instability», the NGO stated in a letter addressed to the newspaper's editor-in-chief. UK Government Pressed on the Issue In its response, Adala UK pointed the finger at Rabat, claiming the article in question «fails to address the serious and ongoing human rights abuses committed by Moroccan authorities in occupied Western Sahara». It's worth noting that the Polisario has previously attempted to distance itself from controversial statements and reports. In May, the group sought to downplay calls, published in some Spanish media and allegedly made by one of its self-styled «ministers», urging attacks on tourists and investors in the Sahara. Similarly, the Polisario dismissed a La Vanguardia article published in June that reported the presence of Sahrawis from the Tindouf camps among the leadership of terrorist groups operating in the Sahel. In its July 1st article, The Telegraph claimed that «Iran has just reached another stage in its terrifying war against the West. Britain needs to proscribe the Polisario Front as a terrorist organisation». This call was echoed by several political figures, including former UK Defence Secretary Liam Fox and Irish Senator Gerard Craughwell. The issue was formally raised in a written question by Conservative MP Charlie Dewhirst to the British Home Secretary. On May 14, Dan Jarvis, the UK's Minister of State for Security, issued a cautious response: «Whilst the Government keeps the list of proscribed organisations under constant review, we do not routinely comment on intelligence and security matters, including whether or not an organisation is under consideration for proscription».

55% of Survey Respondents View Morocco as External Threat to Spain
Rabat – A new survey by Spain's Elcano Royal Institute shows that 55% of Spanish people view Morocco as a main external threat to their country. The number marks a six-point increase from a similar survey that the institute carried out last year. Conducted between May 19-29 this year, the survey featured responses from 1,000 participants. The findings ranked Morocco higher than Russia in terms of how much the North African country is perceived as a threat among Spaniards. Russia comes next with 33% of votes and the US with 19% – the latter marking a surge from 5% in 2024. According to the survey, the perception of Morocco as an external threat is stronger among right-wing respondents. Over 60% of the respondents, meanwhile, see Spain as safe from immediate threat from other countries, while 40% of others disagree. The perception of Morocco as a threat is fueled by different factors, including narratives in the Spanish media, which closely monitor the country's development across multiple sectors, particularly the military. In November, Spanish media were concerned about US President Donald Trump's re-election as well as the strengthened ties between Rabat and Washington, with local analysts warning of the potential implications for Spain's interests and influence in the Mediterranean. Spanish newspaper El Confidencial quoted Jose Antonio Gurpegui claiming that the strong ties between Morocco and the US will influence any future disputes between Rabat and Madrid. A few months ago, Spanish media also warned of growing threats to the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla. Several publications expressed alarm over potential shifts in the enclaves' status under Donald Trump's second US presidency. 'In the realm of security, there is concern that Trump could make an announcement about Ceuta and Melilla similar to what he did about Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara,' El Español reported in an analysis published in February. Spanish media outlets are also concerned about Morocco's robust and growing military, viewing it as a threat rather than a sovereign strategic choice. El Independiente claimed in March that Morocco's advancement in aviation 'poses a challenge to neighboring armies, including Spain,' adding that 'the Spanish case is particularly striking,' Spanish media are also alarmed by Morocco's infrastructure and economic development, with many reports highlighting the country's performance in terms of port activities, among others. Notably, Spanish media are concerned about the good performance that Morocco's Tangier Med Port has been achieving in the past years, drawing comparisons between the Moroccan hub and Algeciras and other central Spanish ports.
