SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, March 23 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The secretary general and senator of the Canary Islands Coalition (CC), Fernando Clavijo, asked himself this Thursday “in exchange for what” the Government of Spain is negotiating with Morocco the cession of air control of Western Sahara that until now is carried out from the archipelago and by UN mandate.
“We don’t know anything, we want an explanation, if this continues, maybe one day we will wake up and the Canary Islands are also from Morocco”, he commented at a press conference in which he pointed out that the negotiations are recognized “in writing” in a response of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares.
Clavijo has commented that his party is still “busy and concerned” with the relations between Spain and Morocco because this transfer of air control is added to the negotiations on international waters, the “betrayal of the Saharawi people”, the median that moves “by the way of the facts” or the authorizations to carry out prospecting without “nothing being known” from the Canary Islands.
He has also criticized that the Government of the Canary Islands “knows it and hides it” and therefore demands an “explanation”.
