The suspicion that Morocco could have intervened in the vote-buying scheme detected in Melilla in order to alter the election results of this Sunday is extraordinarily serious. People related to the Coalition for Melilla (CpM) party met in Morocco with agents from Rabat before the fraud attempt took place.

The investigation into the purchase of postal votes yesterday led the National Police to make seven new arrests – they already add up to a total of ten – and several records thatplace the CpM at the center of the investigations. The authorities searched a party premises and arrested two people linked to it.
