  • Spanish journalist Ignacio Cembrero is criticized for his frequent and intense focus on Moroccan affairs.
  • Cembrero's coverage is described as bordering on obsession, with him frequently accusing Morocco of wrongdoing.
  • The article suggests his reporting goes beyond legitimate journalistic inquiry into an unhealthy preoccupation with the country.

Spanish journalist Ignacio Cembrero's recent coverage of Moroccan affairs has drawn criticism, with observers struggling to distinguish between legitimate reporting and an almost obsessive preoccupation with the country. Cembrero frequently uses any event related to Morocco-Spain relations as an opportunity to levy new accusations against the kingdom.

His recent appearances on a program highlighted this pattern, where his commentary on Moroccan issues seemed to transcend standard journalistic practice. The article suggests that Cembrero's engagement with Morocco has become so intense that it resembles an unhealthy fixation rather than objective reporting.

The focus on Morocco by Cembrero is presented as a recurring theme, where even minor incidents involving Rabat and Madrid become focal points for his critical narratives. This persistent scrutiny, according to the Hespress report, indicates a level of engagement that many find disproportionate and indicative of a deeper, perhaps personal, obsession.
