What Ceuta showed us about the Government's spirit

Using an offense against a neighboring country to alleviate the problems plaguing the government is not only unsightly but also a clear manifestation of disloyalty, weakness, and folly, according to an opinion piece by Manuel Carvalho.

The author argues that this tactic, employed to distract from domestic woes, reveals a lack of genuine leadership and a failure to address the root causes of the nation's challenges. Instead of confronting internal issues head-on, the government resorts to external provocations, which ultimately undermines its credibility and stability.

Carvalho suggests that this approach is a sign of desperation, indicating that the government is out of viable solutions and is resorting to cheap political maneuvering. Such actions, he contends, are detrimental to the country's reputation and its relationships with its neighbors, ultimately exacerbating the very problems the government seeks to escape.
