The Spanish government, through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, denounced in November this violation by Morocco of its territorial waters. The PP invites the Executive to study the possibility of initiating a demolition file for the fish farm, either on its own initiative or through the judicial authorities.

"If nothing is done, we will file a lawsuit to demand the withdrawal of this fish farm from Spanish territorial waters," warned the deputy.
