In an interview with the Spanish radio Cadena SER, she also expressed her wish to defuse the tension with Morocco, in all discretion.

"I don’t want to say or do anything that could jeopardize our willingness to resume our relations with our Moroccan interlocutors," she said, assuring that Spain never intended to create a disagreement with the kingdom.
