Whilst I don't disagree, Spain has similar questions to answer about Ceuta and Melilla.

"Ah, but that's different!" I was told when I asked some Spanish people about the apparent hypocrisy of Spanish enclaves.
No, Ceuta and Melilla are not recognized as colonies by UN (see my previous comment about it, and you could add other historic reasons.
And, to a lesser extent, Canary Islands.
I didn't debate that.
It's unlikely you'll try to debate anything. You're interested in agitation alone.
No, I'm just thinking about things on a more abstract level and wonder whether what is taken for granted really is always a given when doing so.
