Morocco is suspending all contact with the German embassy in Rabat and all the foundations that depend on the German state. Unusually, the letter that conveyed this decision to members of the government was leaked.
There have been precedents, of course, with at least two important and well-known embassies. But this is the first time that the letter from the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and Moroccans living abroad has leaked.
This letter signed by Nasser Bourita is addressed to the Head of Government and to all members of the government. The object is “the suspension of all contact with the German embassy in Rabat”. In general, this measurement precedes big thunderstorms if things do not return as they are.
In this case, nothing is indicated about the reason for the Moroccan ire, except “deep misunderstandings about the fundamental questions of the Kingdom of Morocco”.
Bourita indicates that the “ministerial departments and all the bodies which come under their supervision are requested to kindly suspend all contact, interactions or cooperative action, in any case or in any form, as well with the German embassy. in Morocco than with the German cooperation organizations and foundations linked to it “. Exemptions require an explicit prior agreement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to our observation, this letter was not intended to be distributed. It is possible that details will be provided tomorrow by the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
