The comings and goings of the Madrid-Rabat relationship

Source Summary

The diplomatic relationship between the Spanish State and Morocco has been marked by a series of ups and downs. That is to say, by moments of tension that have led to a clash between the two countries, even for months. It is a Pandora's box that the serious migratory crisis in Ceuta has once again brought to the table and that, although the Spanish government does not want to open – at Moncloa they maintain that it is a "reliable partner" –; other voices are fully entering it. Not going any further, Sumar. The minority partner of the coalition government has asked the United Nations to "examine" Morocco's responsibility in the migratory crisis and some of its members have openly pointed to a geopolitical dimension: "This is not a migratory crisis, but political decisions," stated the deputy in Congress, Tesh Sidi.
