The spokesperson for the Canarian Coalition-PNC in the Congress of Deputies, Ana Oramas, urged the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, this Wednesday to explain "if he is negotiating or intends to negotiate with Morocco the distribution of the use of mineral resources found in the seabed of the waters near the Canary Islands."
"Nobody knows what you are playing at with Morocco," the nationalist spokesperson questioned, in response to Sánchez's appearance to explain Spain's "turn" in relations with the neighboring country. Oramas reproached the president for "not only acting against the opinion of the vast majority of this Congress, which represents popular sovereignty, but he has not yet explained what reasons have led him not only to act against the majority of Spaniards, but against the Saharawi people, to whom his own party had promised unconditional support."
The CC deputy pointed out that this shift in relations with Morocco has already had consequences, including "putting Algeria's gas supply at risk," and stressed that "they have handed over a political refugee who has been sentenced to death."
In this context, the nationalist spokesperson criticized that he uses "always the same strategy that pleases no one and betrays everyone." "It's not that I don't understand you, it's that nobody understands you anymore. Not even your own people, Mr. Sánchez," she questioned.
"What you preside over today is not a Government, but a contradiction," Oramas added. In this sense, she argued that "it comes from a NATO summit that a part of its ministers and its government partner abhor, and defends an invasion of Ukraine by Russia that its investiture partners reject." Taking this into account, she pointed out that "something very strange begins to happen when a president has to govern by relying on the votes of the opposition and with the votes against his investiture partners."
Oramas reproached that, under the umbrella of the shift in relations with Morocco, "his Minister of Foreign Affairs assured that the results were already beginning to be noticed with the decrease in the arrival of migrants to the Canary Islands." In this regard, she responded that "not even the 'genuflection'" of the Spanish Government to Rabat has stopped the arrival of people to the Islands, which has increased by 52% so far this year.
