A new tension is brewing between Morocco and Spain. Rabat does not believe Arancha González Laya’s version, who, invoking reasons of state, refused to reveal the identity of the person responsible for Brahim Ghali’s entry into Spain, during his appearance before the judge last Monday. For Morocco, it seems obvious that Pedro Sánchez was the one who gave the order.
Spain continues to play appeasement with Morocco. Journalists from the Spanish public channel TVE have been barred from participating in a professional trip to the Tindouf camps, during which their colleagues from other media will have to interview the leader of the Polisario, Brahim Ghali , at the origin of the recent diplomatic crisis between the kingdom and its northern neighbor.
The former Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha Gonzalez Laya, declared during her appearance before the judge that the entry into Spain last April of the leader of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali, had been done in a "discreet" way to avoid the anger of Morocco.
The Popular Party (PP) has chosen to constantly attack Sánchez’s government and support Morocco in the crisis that has opened between the two countries after the entry onto Spanish soil of Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Polisario Front.
The former Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha González Laya, assured this Monday during her appearance that the entry into Spain of the leader of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali, was done "in accordance with the law".
The judge of the National Court, Santiago Pedraz, has once again ordered the dismissal of the complaint filed against the leader of the Polisario, Brahim Ghali for genocide.
Five months after being dismissed from the government to appease tensions with Morocco, caused by the arrival of Brahim Ghali in Spain, former Foreign Minister Arancha Gonzalez Laya will appear this Monday before the investigating judge, Rafael Lasala, who is looking for the person responsible for the entry of the Polisario Front leader into Spain.
The judge of the National Court, Santiago Pedraz, has canceled the subpoena of the last witness in the case of torture allegedly suffered by the Sahrawi activist Fadel Breica in the Tindouf camps led by the leader of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali . He will deliver his verdict in the coming days.
The Office of the Attorney General has agreed to provide the defense of Arancha González Laya in the Ghali affair, as it is already doing for her former right-hand man at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Camilo Villarino. The former Minister of Foreign Affairs, recently indicted for her alleged involvement in the entry and exit of the leader of the Polisario Front, is accused of forgery and use of forgery and receiving stolen goods.
The case of Brahim Ghali , the Polisario leader, admitted to the San Pedro de Logroño hospital under a false identity on April 18 after contracting Covid-19, has landed at the UN. Pedro Sánchez, President of the Spanish government, defended the Spanish administration during his speech on Thursday at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
The spokeswoman for the Popular Party (PP) in Congress, Cuca Gamarra, announced that her parliamentary group will file a request to create a commission of inquiry to shed light on Brahim Ghali’s entry into Spain.
The investigation into Brahim Ghali’s entry into Spain last April seems to be leading to the direct responsibility of the former Spanish Foreign Minister, Arancha Gonzalez Laya . She has just been summoned by the judge in charge of the case.
