Algeria accuses Morocco of waging a "dirty war" against Spain with Pegasus and migration

MADRID, 9 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Government of Algeria considers that Morocco is waging a "dirty war" against neighboring countries, Spain among them, in which it would use migratory pressure and Pegasus espionage software, assuming that it is the Alawite kingdom that is behind attacks on mobile phones of high-ranking Spanish officials.

The official Algerian envoy for Western Sahara issues, Amar Belani, has assured that the information that has appeared in recent days in various media confirms that Morocco "does not care about international conventions" and instead uses "amoral" formulas to that other governments bend to their designs.

In this sense, he has stated in statements to the APS agency that it is "proven" that Morocco has intercepted the telephones of foreign leaders, has used migratory flows as a "lever of political pressure" and has launched "indirect threats" about the potential activation of terrorist cells in European countries.

"They are all amoral means that the authorities of this country use, without scruples and with cynicism, in the dirty war that it wages against neighboring countries", said Belani, who has included in his allusions not only Algeria and Spain, but also to France.

The envoy's statements come before the Presidency of Abdelmayid Tebune announced the suspension of the Treaty of Friendship, Good Neighborhood and Cooperation that has governed relations with Spain since 2002, in retaliation for the "unjustifiable" turn of the Pedro Sánchez government in relation to the Western Sahara, in particular for its support for the Moroccan autonomy plan.
