Spain: Reevaluating Relations with Morocco
The European Parliament member from the Sumar party, Estrella Galán, has made a strong statement asserting that Morocco cannot be considered a trustworthy partner. She called for a profound reassessment of the relationship with the Moroccan regime, citing serious concerns regarding its human rights practices and its handling of migration issues. In an interview with the Spanish newspaper El HuffPost, Galán emphasized that Morocco's actions reflect a troubling dynamic that extends beyond mere cooperation, suggesting a trend towards exploitation and coercion.
Galán's criticisms are particularly directed towards Morocco's management of migration flows, which she argues should not be used as a tool for political leverage. She firmly rejects the notion that Morocco has the right to dictate how migration policies should be managed, characterizing any attempts to manipulate migrant flows for pressure as unacceptable. Furthermore, she highlighted that Morocco's record on human rights is deeply flawed, asserting that the nation fails to respect the rights of both its own citizens and migrants. This reality starkly contrasts with any potential role Morocco might play in border management, leading her to advocate for a reevaluation of the relationship with Rabat, ensuring that respect for human rights is central to any future cooperation.
