They hand out citizenship based on the cosmic lottery of where someone happened to be born, or simply on the number of years someone has lived in a country.

I was born in France. I never applied for French citizenship. Why would I ? I dont feel French, I dont contribute to the French economy, and I dont see the point of holding a second passport simply because I happened to be born there.

Citizenship shouldnt be something you receive because of an accident of birth or because enough time has passed. It should be earned through contribution, commitment, and merit.

My cousins are French, Spanish others are Australians, they all live in their countries.

Many Moroccan politicians hold dual nationality themselves. If they dont, their children often do.

As a moderator on several social media platforms, I saw something odd before the #Ceuta crisis. Some Spanish users contacted me asking to post messages claiming that reaching Ceuta was an opportunity to obtain Spanish citizenship. I refused because it sounded like misinformation, if not a scam.

Whether those messages were coordinated or simply opportunistic, the effect was the same: they encouraged people to believe there was an easy path to citizenship by crossing into Ceuta.

Im also skeptical of some of the numbers that circulated in the media. Reports of 50,000 to 100,000 people entering Ceuta deserve scrutiny.

Ceuta has a registered population of about 80,000 people. Claims that more people entered than the city itself contains should be backed by solid evidence like drone footage. Every video show about 2-3k max. Most people stayed within border of <orocco.

Morocco has plenty of certified imbeciles, like every country.
But coordinating tens of thousands of them to storm a border isnt something that happens in social media.

At that scale, logistics matter, and if there really had been a crowd of that size packed into such a small area, you would expect far more violence among the crowd itself than has been reported.
