The PP does not lift the foot of the case of Brahim Ghali, the leader of Polisario Front hosted by our country in a hospital in La Rioja, something that caused an almost unprecedented festering of tension with Morocco, with the migratory invasion of Ceuta that took place last May.
This is an issue that is still in the process of being resolved after the judicial setbacks to the return of Moroccan minors imposed by the Ministry of the Interior.
The Popular Group in Congress will request the appearance in the Lower House of both the Minister of the Presidency, Felix Bolaños, as well as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jose Manuel Albares, after the judge instructing the case has cited Albares’s predecessor as investigated (the former figure of the indictment), Arancha González Laya.
It is, in the words of the parliamentary spokesperson for the popular, Cuca Gamarra, to clarify an “immense” scandal and to clear up, as was said in his day with the GAL case, who is “Mr. X”.
For Gamarra, “what is clear is that the instructions came from above,” he affirmed this Tuesday, in clear reference to the possible responsibility of Pedro Sanchez in Ghali’s welcome. The PP spokesperson also recalled that Ghali was treated for Covid in a public hospital in an autonomous community, La Rioja, with a socialist president, Concha Andreu. The Polisario leader entered our country on a medicalized plane that landed at the Zaragoza Air Base from Algeria.
Who gave the order?
For this reason, explained the leader of the PP, Bolaños and Albares must go to the headquarters of popular sovereignty to “give the keys of who gave the order. Because obviously, that order did not come from the Foreign Minister,” she asserted, stating that In addition to “redirecting” relations with Rabat, we must now find out “the truth” of what happened.
Laya’s former number two in her time as minister, Camilo Villarino, declared before the judge of the case, as EL ESPAÑOL advanced, that “I do not think it was her alone by herself and before herself [la que decidió acoger a Ghali]. The Government is not a kingdom of taifa. “A statement in court that already clearly indicated higher instances in the Executive as those responsible for the controversial decision.
The PP now wants to give explanations in the Congress of Deputies both Albares, who just two months ago carried out the transfer of powers with Laya, as Bolaños, who although he has also been a minister since July – when Sánchez undertook the biggest government crisis since He arrived in La Moncloa in 2018 – he was previously Secretary General of the Presidency and one of Sánchez’s most trusted men.
Gamarra links the July government crisis, in which one of the main victims was González Laya, in part to the Ghali case, and for this reason he believes it is convenient for Bolaños to offer explanations. “Now many of the reasons that were not explained at the time are beginning to be known. Some of the changes in Pedro Sánchez’s Cabinet, in the Council of Ministers, did not find a very clear reason,” reasoned Gamarra, to conclude that the replacement de Laya is now known to be related to that case.
The thesis that it is necessary to look above the former Foreign Minister to find the person responsible for the reception of Ghali that so upset Rabat is also shared by the third party in Congress, Vox. Your spokesperson, Ivan Espinosa de los Monteros, stated in this regard that “who should be investigated and in his case sentenced is who gave the order.”
