Morocco in the 23J elections

VOX invites Sánchez to leave the Moncloa for Morocco. Sumar places a philopolist on its list for the Congress of Deputies. And Feijóo affirms in the "face to face" that he would change his position on the Moroccan Western Sahara.

Morocco thus enters a very close general election. The final sprint towards 23J forces the candidates, PSOE and PP, as well as the "wild card" parties, VOX and Sumar, to radicalise their messages with crazy proposals and many lies.

We know that Sumar is the PCE. And their desire is to intervene in the press like communism in the past. Now they are proposing to wipe out the economy with indiscriminate and substantial donations, while threatening businessmen with more and new taxes. As Ibn Khaldun said, "taxation kills taxation" (today known as the "Laffer curve").

VOX, for its part, denies climate change and male violence. All this in the midst of an infernal heat never known before and multiple crimes against women. As well as trying to end the EU and sowing hatred against immigrants. He forgets that, in the global world we live in, there are millions of migrants who wander, work, live and die far from their homes. Spaniards and Moroccans included. Something inherent to human nature.

I agree with Rufián when he says that Yolanda Díaz is more dangerous than Abascal. The Catalan separatist wanted to say, "God save me from the tame bull, I'll get rid of the brave one". Abascal can see it coming. But Yolanda Díaz is unpredictable. And hence her recklessness.

She places Agustín Santos in second place on the list for Madrid and, in third, the Polisario Tesh Sidi. Two antagonistic figures. A former ambassador to the UN, in favour of a pragmatic solution to the autonomy of the Sahara under Moroccan sovereignty. And a Polisario activist, full of hatred towards Morocco.

Let us therefore take the opportunity to urge Tesh Sidi to denounce Algeria as a dictatorship because of the hundreds of journalists and political prisoners imprisoned by the Algerian military regime. And to denounce the systematic violation of the human rights of the hostages in Tindouf. Above all, to bring the murderers of fishermen, civilians and Spanish soldiers before the courts. In doing so, the philopolisario will show that she is a true representative of the Spanish people with a salary paid out of the state budget. And not a figurehead of the Polisario criminal gang and a mouthpiece of the Algerian military dictatorship.

Moreover, Yolanda Díaz had no qualms about defining Morocco as a "dictatorship". And later she thanked Morocco for its support for the Spanish initiative, before the UN, on the social economy. The Sumar leader's mockery is monumental. It reminds us of Pablo Iglesias. And we already know how it ended.

The outrageous thing is that, for Yolanda Díaz, communism is "democracy and freedom", in her own words. In other words, Stalin was not a dictator. Cuba is not a dictatorship. And neither is North Korea or Venezuela or Russia or Iran or Algeria.

The anti-capitalists who live like kings, some in Galapagar and others in Brussels, the heart of European capitalism, surrounded by all kinds of luxuries, are running out of money. And like those who pinch themselves to dissipate the reality of a dream, from time to time they take Polisario or Catalan independence for a walk to dye themselves as communists. Bildu will take care of the Basque one, won't you, Yolanda!

The economy, which could have been Sánchez's lever, has been absent from the debates. And Feijóo has opted to grab votes left, right and centre. Without any scruples. Even at the expense of the postal service and the fruitful Spanish-Moroccan relations.

Feijóo won the "face to face". Or rather, Sánchez, who seemed to be in retreat, lost it by not defending himself against a string of inaccuracies and half-truths by Feijóo. That is to say, denying the growth of GDP, employment, the reduction of inflation or lying about pensions and Pegasus.

What the PP leader did make clear is that he will make a pact with VOX. And he affirmed, somewhat forced by the moderators of the debate when he tried to wriggle out of the question, that he would reverse Sánchez's decision on the Moroccan Western Sahara in order to re-establish a balance that never existed.

Feijóo thus wants to take us back to the past. To stagnation and ambiguity. And against the tide. Something that seems unlikely. It would be comparable to Spain's withdrawal from Iraq, carried out by Zapatero, which kept Spain relegated by the US for years.

Morocco will not accept a return to the status quo ante, and for several reasons. No one can imagine a parliamentary session in which Feijóo's PP votes, in plenary session, with the radicals of Sumar, Bildu, ERC, CUP, PNV, etc., for a resolution in favour of Polisario, Catalan or Basque secessionism. And at a time when international security is threatened by the third world war (undeclared), which could turn nuclear, in the heart of Europe against the Russian-Iranian side. A side to which Algeria recently swore allegiance in front of Putin, live and direct, in a shameful act of submission.

Moreover, the formation of new alliances after the invasion of Ukraine, the re-emergence of Morocco as an economic and military power in North Africa, the security of the southern flank in the face of Sahelian terrorism, where Wagner's mercenaries are at ease, make Feijóo's temptation unfeasible.

Although everything is a foregone conclusion, Feijóo's proposal is out of touch with geopolitical reality. The international community is largely in favour of the Moroccan solution, the UN Secretary General no longer counts on the Polisario, and the departure of Morocco's Western Sahara from the Fourth Committee is a matter of time.

The criticised Spanish-Moroccan relations, with Africanist projection, are in a process of unstoppable synergy, according to the roadmap signed in 2022 by both kingdoms. And they are progressing at a geometric rate in all sectors. This is the new reality of a strategic partnership. Because nothing good has ever and will never come out of the radicals' side.

Against this backdrop, the undecided electorate of Moroccan origin is turning to the PSOE. Precisely to avoid a painful rupture in Spanish-Moroccan relations that have taken so long to rebuild.
