Camilo Villarino, the chief of staff of Arancha González Laya, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, is the one who ordered the air force headquarters not to subject Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Polisario Front and his entourage, to "customs or immigration" checks before their entry into Spanish territory.
The tensions between Morocco and Spain, opened with the reception in April of Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Polisario Front, in a hospital in Logroño, have now lasted for a hundred days. Spain is actively working to resume relations.
Diplomatic negotiations are underway for the rapid restoration of relations between Spain and Morocco. The Spanish authorities are actively working on a complete review of cooperation with Rabat, particularly with regard to the thorny issue of Ceuta and Melilla.
Two witnesses will appear on Tuesday before the judge of the National Court, Santiago Pedraz, in charge of the case of Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Polisario Front, accused of torture and various human rights violations.
The Popular Party (PP) accused on Wednesday the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sanchez, of being "the sole responsible" for the crisis opened with Morocco after the entry into Spain of Brahim Ghali , the leader of the Polisario Front.
The Moroccan ambassador to Spain, Karima Benyaich , recalled for consultations in Rabat since mid-May, will not be returning to her post in Madrid anytime soon.
The Aragon health service has assured that "there is no evidence" of the transfer of the Polisario leader, Brahim Ghali to Logroño from Zaragoza in one of its ambulances in its records.
Arancha González Laya is no longer, as of this Saturday, the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs. The head of government, Pedro Sanchez, has just thanked her on the occasion of the reshuffle. José Manuel Albares, until now Spanish ambassador to France, is the new head of Spanish diplomacy.
Brahim Ghali holds a national identity card issued by the Spanish state in January 2006 and which he renewed on June 30, 2016 in Talavera de la Reina (Toledo). This is the information given to the National Court by the General Information Commissariat of the police.
The investigating judge in charge of the Brahim Ghali case has asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Air Force General Staff to provide him with the names of the military and senior officials who gave and received instructions to facilitate the entry into Spain of the leader of the Polisario Front, on April 18.
The air force authorities in Zaragoza have finally revealed to the judge in charge of the case the authority that authorized the landing of the plane carrying the Polisario leader, Brahim Ghali, in Spain on April 18.
The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, without providing information on the identity of the people on board the Algerian presidency’s plane that transported Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Polisario Front, to Spain on April 18, asked the air force to authorize the plane to land at the Zaragoza air base and enter the territory without any customs control.
