In a joint appearance without questions, Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares and his Moroccan counterpart, Naser Burita, confirmed that the relationship between the State and the Alawite monarchy is experiencing its "best moment in history," and the underlying reason is the shift Spain took in April 202 toward autonomy (and not self-determination) over the former Spanish colony proposed by Morocco. "[The decision] marked a turning point in the relationship," Burita acknowledged this Thursday.
