Madrid faces opposition over Moroccan arms deal
The article focuses on the Spanish People's Party's escalation of demands for the government to disclose details regarding Morocco's military capabilities enhancement, especially in the north, and to document its military cooperation with the United States. This cooperation includes projects to develop military facilities and deploy air defense systems and radars. These developments come amid Spanish concerns about their impact on the security of Ceuta and Melilla, as well as on Spain’s strategic position in the Strait of Gibraltar. This is particularly relevant following the signing of a defense cooperation agreement between Morocco and the United States, which extends until 2036 and aims to strengthen security collaboration between the two countries. These developments raise questions about the extent of U.S. support’s influence on regional security, amid cautious political reactions and debates about Spain’s capacity to handle any potential crises on its southern borders.
