Algeria threatens Spain with breaking the gas supply contract if the Government of Pedro Sánchez uses the Maghreb gas pipeline to deliver Algerian gas to Morocco.
The Algerian Ministry of Energy warns in a statement released by the state news agency that it has learned through an email sent by the Vice President of Ecological Transition,
Teresa Ribera,
that Spain will reopen the Moroccan tube in the next few hours in the other way around, that is, to deliver gas to Morocco.
"Any transport of Algerian natural gas delivered to Spain, whose destination is none other than that provided for in the contracts, will be considered a breach of contractual commitments, and consequently, could lead to a breach of the contract that binds Sonatrach with its customers. Spaniards," warns the agency.
It is not the first time that Algeria has threatened to cut off the gas supply to Spain.
Already last February, when Ribera opened the door to sending gas to Morocco to strengthen bilateral relations, the African country warned the Spanish interlocutors that it would not allow "not a single molecule" of its gas to be sent to the neighboring country .
