Having left for Majorca amid the Ceuta crisis, Akhannouch returns less than 48 hours later

Aziz Akhannouch returned to Morocco on Sunday evening, less than 48 hours after leaving for Majorca. The private trip by the head of government sparked numerous reactions because of its timing, as the country remained affected by the Ceuta crisis.

The private plane carrying Aziz Akhannouch landed late in the evening at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca, ending a stay of only two days on the Spanish island.

The head of government had left Morocco immediately after taking part in the ceremony of allegiance. He was accompanied by several members of his family and close friends during this period of rest in Majorca, according to the Spanish press.

His return came less than 48 hours after his arrival on the island, while his trip had already sparked considerable debate in the Moroccan media and on social networks.

Two days that sparked controversy

The decision to leave at that precise moment had been criticized because of the consequences of the Ceuta crisis, which were still very much present. The massive attempts to cross, the loss of life, and the Spanish and European reactions continued to dominate the news.

Several observers had also noted the lack of government communication during the first hours of the crisis, while the Spanish authorities multiplied their statements about the situation at the border.
