The former president of the Spanish government, José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, has affirmed that the relationship with Morocco is "fundamental" for the security and stability of Spain, while stressing the relevance of the autonomy plan for the settlement of the artificial conflict over the Sahara.

 The Permanent Representative of Morocco to the UN, Ambassador Omar Hilale, denounced, at the Security Council, the ideological connection and the political blindness of South Africa to the Moroccan Sahara.

Morocco has no problem with the European Union. He has a problem with Spain on an issue related to its supreme interests and it is up to this country to find the solution, said minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita.

Spain created the crisis with Morocco and made Europe assume it, said Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita.

Spain has tried over the past days to divert the attention of public opinion and has engaged in maneuvers aimed at concealing the true origin of the crisis between Morocco and Spain, which lies in the fact that Madrid preferred to scheming with the enemies of Morocco regarding a fundamental issue for the Kingdom and Moroccans, said minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita.
