Ignacio Cembrero, victim of a malicious pencil?

Ignacio Cembrero seems to be going through an identity crisis. Not content with churning out biased pieces on Morocco, he now takes offense… at a cartoon. In a tweet that reads like an aesthetic emergency, he laments being portrayed as “ugly,” claiming his image gets worse by the day. If credibility is lacking, he’ll settle for better lighting.

Moved by his artistic distress, some responded with generosity: a new caricature, more aligned with his editorial posture — twisted, suspicious, and often poorly informed. A light-hearted nod to his special talent for turning innuendo into “investigation.”

In his latest work of geopolitical fiction, Cembrero spins a tale of a cold war between Morocco’s DGST and DGED. Armed with boundless imagination and zero evidence, he paints a spy thriller out of thin air. The story, unsupported by facts, caters to those who prefer drama over truth.

This isn’t new. His formula is well known: take an Algerian rumor, sprinkle in vague expressions, add some regional tension, and wrap it all up as “independent journalism.” The result: an indigestible mix only applauded by those who thrive on anti-Moroccan rhetoric.

Meanwhile, Morocco’s security services work in seamless coordination to ensure national stability. But Cembrero prefers to keep his audience entertained with conspiracy scripts. Reality may be less exciting — but it’s also far more reliable.

In the end, those who caricature reality should expect to be caricatured themselves. Cembrero, upon seeing his own reflection in the media he loves to bash, now cries out for visual justice. But when you twist the facts, you shouldn’t be surprised if the mirror bends back.
