Also, is "non-tax haven" the definition of normal to you? Its a fucking colony with multiple layers of eletric fences and pits of barbed wire, jackass. To call that normal is accepting those attrocities, colonialist dipshit.
then why the fuck are you calling it normal? In this thread it appears you are defending european territory in Africa, as the most assholish of europeans do. Your colonialist country and its oversees territories deserve nothing but spite for what it did in the past and continues to do in the present.
Stop saying 500 years like its a reasonable argument. THE COLONIAL PERIOD WAS 500 YEARS AGO COLONIZER TRASH. Its a terrible argument in defense of european ownership of African land.
The Spanish exclave cities have been both casus belli and staging grounds for colonial wars on Morocco. Melilla was just a garrison until the Hispano-Moroccan war of 1860 after which they rapidly built a city.
The whole point of owning territory there is to control Mediterranean shipping, not to have a laugh on the beach.
Ok but you get what Gibraltar is for? It's so they could shoot boats right? Same idea there, just a bit earlier. Gibraltar has a city too, I can put a city anywhere. Jamestown was a city.
Hilarious how the Spanish are pissed about Gibraltar while having the same fucking thing on the exact other side.
Didn’t even think about that
Because they are completely different issues. Melilla and Ceuta have been spanish for 500 years and are normal cities.
Meanwhile Gibraltar is a tax haven, a resort for old brits and a tool used by Great Britain to dominate the Mediterranean sea.
They aren't normal cities at all.
Are they tax havens? Do the people there not have spanish citizenship?
They are barely not tax havens, with their corporate exemptions.

WTF, who the hell "accepted" those atrocities? I literally say in this thread that those have to go.

That "european territory in Africa" has been spanish for 500 years. Why do you want to ignore the will of the people living there?
Hell, i hate when yanks complain about stuff they have just discovered.
It’s as normal as the occupied territories in Palestine
Nah, that's the sahara, you know, the place currently occupied by Morocco where they are murdering tons of people after invading it in the 70s.
Due to their special marginal location, the Spanish government has granted them 50% tax exemption, both for commercial companies and personal assets.
" normal city " for sure
Tax haven =/= City
You: these are the same thing.
I don't think they're mad about the tax haven, I think they're mad about the territorial incursion.
What incursion? It has been there for 500 years and neither Morocco or Spain existed back then.
It should be part of Morocco. Duh.
When your fortress enclave gets questioned and you’re like “but it’s been there for so long!” Fucking lol.
Lmao, why.
Yeah sure, let's give them two cities that have been spanish for 500 years to the country currently occupying the Sahara and murdering everyone there.

Oh, now i see, so the whole argument was indeed "map look nice".

Ah, yes, minimizing the damages of european colonialization to "making the map ugly" is very fitting for a dumbass like you.

Sure, as i said, it's a city, not a resort. Comparing it with all those turist cities for white people in third world countries is disingenous.

Gibraltar is a tax haven, Melilla isn't.
