Unhappy with Spain which welcomed Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Polisario on its territory, Morocco decided to postpone the high-level inter-ministerial summit until further notice.
The presence in Spain of Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Polisario, has created a new crisis between Morocco and Spain. In reaction to this unfriendly attitude from Spain, Morocco has just postponed the high-level meeting, reports El Espanol, who recalls that the leader of the Polisario, admitted to a Spanish hospital after contracting the coronavirus, continues to stay there.
While the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha González Laya, reassured that the hospitalization of Ghali “will not harm relations with Morocco”, her Moroccan counterpart expressed “his disappointment with regard to this act contrary to the spirit partnership and good neighborliness, and which concerns a fundamental question for the Moroccan people and its living forces”.
As a result, all the preparatory meetings planned between the Moroccan and Spanish ministers were canceled, continues the same source, which specifies that the signing ceremony of the financing agreements for the projects selected under the 2nd call for projects “INNO ESPA MAROC”, initially scheduled for Wednesday, April 28 at the headquarters of the Moroccan Ministry of Energy, Mines and the Environment, was “unfortunately suspended for reasons beyond our control,” announced the Spanish Ambassador to Morocco.
