Morocco accuses Spain of trying to include Europe "in a bilateral crisis"

Rabat (Morocco), Jun 9 (EFE) .- (Camera: Mohamed Siali) Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Naser Burita, affirmed on Wednesday that the Spanish Government "tries to Europeanize a crisis that is bilateral" between Morocco and Spain and that " it did not end on June 1 "with the departure from Spanish territory of the Saharawi leader Brahim Ghali.FOOTAGE AND SOUNDBITES FROM BURITA ABOUT THE CRISISTRANSLATION1 . The crisis has not started with the arrival and has not ended with the departure of that person. The crisis is first a crisis of confidence, a crisis related to acts, with an attitude that Morocco has considered contrary to the spirit of the association.2. The crisis exists because the deep causes of the crisis are always there, attempts to Europeanize the crisis do not change anything. In Morocco's perception, the crisis is bilateral and Europeanization is a forward flight, a way of diverting the reality of the crisis, which is a crisis related to actions and an attitude, and its resolution corresponds to those who created it.3 . I think this excitement to Europeanize and center the crisis on emigration is counterproductive and does not allow progress towards a solution.Four . The background is a coherence in the act and the words regarding a fundamental issue that Morocco and Spain face and that is separatism: we cannot fight separatism in your home and promote it in that of your neighbor.
