Germany — Ekhbary News Agency
Regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt, a state in former East Germany, are set to commence this coming Sunday, marking the initial contest in a series of critical global polls. The recent migrant surge at Ceuta has amplified fears across the West regarding immigration, significantly influencing nearly every impending election in a period of intense strain on liberal democracies. This "avalanche of Ceuta" has, for all intents and purposes, sent an ominous signal from the Strait of Gibraltar, an ancient boundary of the known world.
Uncertainty Surrounds Ceuta Events
The precise origins of the Ceuta incident remain shrouded in mystery, with various theories circulating but no definitive answers. Speculation points to Moroccan secret services acting alone to pressure Spain, potentially manipulating discontent among youths who protested a year prior, leading to three deaths, hundreds injured, and 1,400 prosecutions. Alternatively, foreign services might have influenced Moroccan operations to penalize Spain's foreign policy. Another theory suggests a "spontaneous" digital mobilization that overwhelmed Moroccan gendarmerie, who reportedly avoided lethal force during the Feast of the Throne to prevent a massacre. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez recently implicated Israel and Russia, though the Spanish populace largely attributes the events to Morocco.

Global Elections and EU's Future at Stake
The repercussions of Ceuta are poised to shape numerous elections worldwide, with immigration emerging as a central theme. Following Saxony-Anhalt, legislative elections are scheduled in Sweden on September 13, Russia and regional polls in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on September 20, and Morocco on September 23—a crucial detail suggesting internal factional struggles. Further ahead, presidential elections loom in Brazil (October 4), legislative elections in Israel (October 27), and US midterm legislative elections (November 3). Nigeria's presidential and legislative elections are due in January 2027, with Italy, Spain, and Poland likely holding legislative votes in spring/summer 2027. France will elect its president next April/May, and Argentina in October 2027. The outcomes of these elections, particularly in the US regarding Donald Trump's influence and in Israel concerning Netanyahu, could dramatically alter international politics. The fate of the European Union, indeed, hangs in the balance, as these pivotal votes commence.
