Brahim Ghali's reception calls into question anti-terrorism cooperation with Morocco

By welcoming the leader of the Polisario Front to receive specialized medical treatment in Spain, the government of Pedro Sanchez risks bursting the anti-terrorist cooperation between Spain and Morocco; which would result in dangerous consequences for the security and stability of the country. 
The Executive of Sanchez is in the position of accepting to hand over to the Spanish justice the Saharawi leader. "The two things, in principle, are not at odds: providing health services, with being accountable to justice", declared to ATALAYAR the former Moroccan diplomat, specialist in international law, Jamal Eddine Mechbal. "Dealing with a complaint filed before the judge Jose de la Mata, for crimes of murder, injuries, illegal detention, terrorism, torture and disappearances, once the health problem is overcome, the Spanish government has the obligation to cooperate with the Spanish justice that is handling the case." The complaint to the Spanish justice was lodged by the Saharawi Association of Human Rights (ASADEH). 
Another source wonders to what extent the fact of admitting in Spain Brahim Gali, claimed by the justice, with false identity and falsified travel document, the Spanish government is an accomplice instead of a collaborator with the Spanish justice in a criminal matter of the utmost importance as it is the anti-terrorism. 
It does not seem that the Sanchez government has measured the consequences of its "humanitarian act" as presented by Foreign Minister Gonzalez Laya. "The serious problem is that this has direct consequences on cooperation in anti-terrorist matters" continues our interlocutor, for whom it is inconceivable that, in the face of a lawsuit in the Spanish courts for crimes against humanity and terrorism, "the main accused is let go, and then Morocco or another country is asked to hand over some Islamist terrorist".  
In the current circumstances, the coordination of the fight against terrorism, whether bilateral or multilateral, is a requirement of prime importance, more important than economic, social, cultural or business cooperation. Morocco has shown a high capacity in information, investigation and anti-terrorist operations, praised by countries such as the United States, France or Germany. Spain cannot afford the luxury of mortgaging good relations with its southern neighbor for petty electoral, political or image interests.
