Once again, the strong discrepancies within the Government between the United Podemos ministers and those of the PSOE may end up generating

a new diplomatic crisis with Morocco

.

Just when the Alawite kingdom had agreed to rectify its position after having facilitated the massive access of immigrants to Ceuta in response to the illegal entry into Spain of the leader of the Polisario Front.

in charge of Foreign Affairs, which has facilitated the reactivation of the bilateral agreement between the two countries - signed in 2007 and whose latest update is in 2012 - to promote the family reunification of minors who crossed irregularly into Spain last May.

Pablo Iglesias
