Morocco Denies Pegasus Spyware Allegations, Claims Targeted Smear Campaign

Morocco is the victim of a media campaign aimed at tarnishing its image. This is what the president of the France-Morocco friendship group in the French Senate, Christian Cambon, said after the kingdom was accused of having infiltrated the phones of Moroccan and foreign public figures, including high-ranking French officials, via the Pegasus spyware.
Morocco is the subject of "denigration press campaigns", Cambon said, specifying that this action aims to tarnish the image of the kingdom and to "destabilize" it, challenging "the instigators" to provide proof of their very serious accusations.
For the senator, Morocco, victim of a "very targeted persecution", is an oasis of tolerance and success in the midst of rather jealous neighboring countries that "are not the subject of any criticism, either on the human rights front or on the economic development front". Cambon also mentions "the American decision on Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara" which earns it a lot of enmity as well.
"If I add up the tensions with Germany, with Spain, [and] now this affair of wiretapping, the various elements suggest that people are acting to destabilize the country," he deciphered, reaffirming to Morocco the "solidarity" of his group, and hoping that "all these affairs will cease".
