The island priest proposes "bombing Rabat" and responding to migrants with fire
Reverend Javier Aizpun has posted several messages on social network X (formerly Twitter) about the migration crisis in Ceuta and has proposed drastic measures against Morocco and migrants.
The island priest, Javier Aizpun, has raised controversy over messages on the X social network (formerly Twitter) about the arrival of migrants in Ceuta. In one of his publications, the priest says: "Rabat must be bombed" as part of messages advocating harsh measures against Morocco.
Aizpune also points out that it would be necessary to respond with fire to migrants trying to enter Ceuta and proposes a "reconquest" of Morocco in order, in his own words, to recover "the original Spain", referring to ancient Roman Hispania.
In his publications, the priest also makes statements, without providing evidence on the arrival of migrants in Ceuta, and claims that he responds to an alleged coordinated plan, including messages about the origin of these people, without providing evidence to support such claims.
In view of the controversy that has arisen, the diocese of Pamplona/Iruña has reported that it dissociates itself from these statements and has stated that these are personal opinions of the priest "which in no way coincide". The diocese has also announced that Archbishop Florencio Roselló will hold a meeting with Aizpún to discuss this matter.
It's not the first controversy.
Last December, the diocese of Pamplona was forced to dissociate itself from its statements in Aizpune, calling US President Donald Trump "the new Nero" and calling for the destruction of the European Union.
During this controversy, the diocese stressed that the views of the abbot did not represent the official position of the institution.
