SPAIN’S junior coalition partner has called for the government to reconsider co-hosting the next World Cup with Morocco following the humanitarian and migration crisis in Ceuta, where tens of thousands of people crossed the border into the Spanish enclave last week.

Sumar, a small left-wing party that shares Spain’s government with the leading Socialists, presented a motion in the country’s Parliament on today asking Spain’s sports authorities to revisit its plan to co-host the 2030 soccer tournament with Morocco and Portugal.

Sumar only has 26 seats in the 350-member Parliament, but its voice is important because it holds ministerial positions in the government of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who has faced criticism from other European Union members for the Ceuta crisis.

The motion would be non-binding. Sumar said it is hoping it can gain more support in the parliament, but beyond the potential backing of other small left-wing parties, that seems unlikely at this point.

Sanchez has publicly defended the role of Moroccan authorities, saying they were quick to help in the return of almost all the 72,000 people who crossed into Ceuta last week. Some 2,000 people remain in Ceuta, according to Spain’s Interior Ministry, including one thousand minors.

But opposition voices and even Spain’s defence minister have asked for Morocco to give a more detailed explanation on its response to the crisis, which was fuelled by social media posts encouraging people to cross the frontier. More than 80 people died when they tried to swim in a mass crossing around a breakwater and border fence from Morocco into Ceuta, a Spanish city on the north African coast, on Thursday and Friday.

Sumar’s Nahuel Gonzalez, one of the parliament members who authored the motion, accused Morocco of using migration flows for political ends.

“The Moroccan state, the Moroccan monarchy, does not respect human rights, it uses migrants to exercise political pressure,” Gonzalez told Spanish broadcaster TVE.

When asked, Gonzalez did not clarify if Sumar wants Morocco to not host the World Cup or for Spain to abandon hosting the event.

“We ask that Spain’s sports institutions reconsider this World Cup that is to be shared with Morocco because we believe that we must defend human rights,” Gonzalez said.

A small party in Portugal’s parliament, Livre, shared the concern. It sent a letter to Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro and to the president of the Portuguese Football Federation calling for a reassessment of the World Cup, calling it “unsustainable” after the Ceuta crisis.

The majority of the 2030 World Cup is to be co-hosted by Spain, Morocco and Portugal, with Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay also due to stage a game each. The South American connection will mark the centenary of Uruguay hosting the first World Cup in 1930.
