The Moroccan press places Pedro Sánchez in Tangier (Morocco). According to Le360, the acting president arrived in Tangier this Thursday morning from Marrakech, where he began his summer vacation with his family last Tuesday.

In addition, said newspaper affirms that the socialist leader went directly with his wife and daughters to his residence at the Mirage Hotel, which is located in Ashkar, where he met with Moroccan and Spanish officials. Likewise, it is expected that Sánchez’s vacation in Tangier will be extended for two more days, in which he will visit the ancient city of Tangier and tour its most important historical monuments. He is also scheduled to visit the city of Chefchaouen, before moving to the city of Tetouan, from where he will return to Spain.

A CONTROVERTED HOLIDAY

Although from Moncloa it was explained that it is a “private trip, fully paid for by the acting president and that it does not respond to his official agenda as head of the Executive”, political criticism did not wait. It was the deputy secretary of Organization of the PP, Miguel Tellado, who declared last Wednesday on Onda Cero: “It seems to me a provocation that demonstrates his arrogance.” These words were pronounced by him at a time characterized by the government political blockade after the PSOE’s intention to achieve sufficient support to revalidate the mandate, despite not being the force with the most votes.

Vox also expressed a negative opinion about this fact: “It seems that Sánchez likes Morocco more than Spain,” the party led by Santiago Abascal said.

To the foreseeable reproaches from the people and from Vox, this journey was also condemned from the leadership of Podemos. The Podemos MEP and head of the Sumar list in the last general elections for Navarra, Idoia Villanueva, reproached Sánchez for her trip and accused him of “complacency” with the Alaouite kingdom, which violates fundamental rights “with total impunity”.

“Pedro Sánchez continues to show his complacency with Morocco, day after day, and while Morocco continues to violate fundamental rights with total impunity,” the also head of the Podemos International Secretariat denounced in a tweet.
