Spanish official criticizes Morocco

The article cited criticisms by Antonio Maíyo, the federal coordinator of the United Left Party in Spain, towards Morocco following the crisis in which around 70,000 people entered Ceuta without the knowledge of the Moroccan authorities. According to his statements, he considered this a humanitarian disaster that exposed flaws in Rabat's relationship with Madrid. He also suggested the possibility that Moroccan intelligence agencies may not have been aware of the mass flow, raising questions about security cooperation between the two countries. Maíyo criticized Morocco’s handling of the lives and rights of its citizens, especially amid social and economic crises that drive thousands to risk their lives. Regarding Western Sahara, he argued that Spanish concessions had not resolved the dispute with Rabat and called for a strategic reevaluation of relations with Morocco, emphasizing the importance of respecting human rights and international law. He proposed excluding Morocco from hosting the 2030 World Cup as a measure to pressure the country to improve its human rights record. These statements contextualize the deep tensions in European-Moroccan relations, revealing underlying issues related to migration policies, human rights, and security cooperation.
