Pablo Iglesias’ party has been seen as an enemy in Morocco for a long time. Among other things because of its position on Western Sahara, something that the formation describes as an “illegal occupation” committed by Morocco.
Rabat considers United We Can to be an extreme left formation. And he does not forgive that from the purple party disqualifications are launched against Mohamed VI as “satrap” or “tyrant”, as Sonia Moreno recalled a few days ago in EL ESPAÑOL
But the most striking thing is that this week Morocco has pointed directly to Iglesias and considers him the “origin of the crisis” in relation to relations with Spain. This is indicated in its February issue by the magazine BAB, published by the official MAP news agency.
“Officially, Spain aligns itself with the position of the UN on the issue of the Sahara. Public opinion in this country, like many politicians, continues to support the Polisario behind the scenes,” the publication points out.
This position of Iglesias regarding Western Sahara is not new. On November 15, the Vice President of the Government typed on his Twitter a message with all the intention advocating a referendum “for self-determination” and recalled that the UN asked in 1995 to hold “without further delay, a free, clean and impartial referendum for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara. “
However, the Foreign Minister, Arancha González Laya, has always been much more cautious about the Sahara issue. And so far she has maintained her support for the UN’s efforts to ensure “respect for the ceasefire” agreed and monitored in Western Sahara.
From the magazine published by the official news agency of the Alawite kingdom they consider that lately “Spain is very concerned about this conflict, since it is part of the Club of Friends of the Sahara, and has coldly welcomed the US decision (…) this new reality which is not beneficial to them. “
The publication recalls that our country is home to a US military base in the southwest of Andalusia and points out that we are directly affected by “the recent decision of Morocco to pass a law to delimit its maritime borders. An issue that directly affects the Canary Islands.
As a culmination, the BAB magazine makes a comparison between Catalonia and the situation of the Polisario. And he underlines the contradiction of Spain in one case and in another: “What is even more incomprehensible in Spain’s attitude is that, although it severely represses any desire for independence in Catalonia, a community of 7.5 million inhabitants, continues supporting, behind the scenes, the self-determination of a few thousand separatists of the Polisario Front “.
