Spanish Left-Wing Party’s Anti-Morocco Election Posters Spark Diplomatic Tensions

"We are following the systematic provocations carried out by parties hostile to the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco and targeting the diplomatic relations between Morocco and Spain. The latest of these anti-Moroccan acts, the left-wing party called the Workers’ Front, has attacked the Kingdom of Morocco in an immoral and unjustified manner. And this, through posters affecting one of the main symbols of Moroccan sovereignty," the organization said in a statement published on Saturday and quoted by Barlamane.

And to add: "This act constitutes a precedent of its kind through which this party, and in a rather clumsy way, tramples on all the customs and traditions in force in international relations. Worse still, this immoral act could even undermine relations between the two peoples." The organization "strongly condemns these childish behaviors and expresses its firm rejection of using and involving the symbols of the Kingdom of Morocco and our national identity in partisan struggles (...) which do not in any way concern Morocco."

The Democratic Organization of the Press and Media Professions also calls on the "perpetrators of this inappropriate campaign to apologize immediately for this odious and immoral act." It also calls on the Spanish press and "all the living Spanish democratic forces to firmly condemn these attacks, which reflect a narrow-minded electoral political mentality." The organization reserves the right to "resort to international courts to prosecute the perpetrators of these acts," concludes the note.
