Spanish Opposition Demands Answers on Polisario Leader's Covert Entry

After the incessant demands for explanations from Morocco on the reception in Spain of Brahim Ghali, leader of the Polisario separatists, it is the turn of the Popular Party (PP, opposition) to demand that the Spanish government explain the "illegal and under a false identity" entry of the man being prosecuted by the justice system.

The main opposition force in Spain indicates in a press release that it has addressed five parliamentary questions to the government of Pedro Sánchez on the "illegal, undisclosed and under a false identity" entry of the head of the Polisario militias. PP President Pablo Casado had a videoconference meeting with the President of the National Rally of Independents (RNI), Aziz Akhannouch, and the Secretary General of the Istiqlal Party, Nizar Baraka.

During this meeting, the PP pleaded for the strengthening of bilateral relations with Morocco. For Casado, these are "fundamental" links in all areas, including trade, culture, tourism, security, energy, health, agriculture and fisheries.

The PP president also committed to working to intensify a "strategic neighborhood relationship, fundamental for the European Union, the Atlantic space, the Maghreb region and the African continent," the statement concludes.
