Spain’s government has denied any dispute with Morocco, describing ties as being “at one of their best moments in history,” according to Diego Rubio, chief of staff to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
Speaking before parliament’s National Security Committee on Thursday, Rubio accused the far-right Vox party of “obsession” with spreading conspiracy theories and espionage claims aimed at harming Spanish-Moroccan relations.
Rubio said Morocco is “a neighbor, friend, and strategic partner,” while acknowledging minor disagreements similar to those with Portugal or France.
He praised cooperation in circular migration, counterterrorism, anti-smuggling, and trade, calling it a model for regional collaboration.
Vox, known for its hostility toward Morocco, has sought to depict Rabat as a security threat and opposed agreements between Spain, Morocco, and the EU, including the recent agricultural deal covering the southern provinces.
Spanish officials and major parties continue to reaffirm that partnership with Morocco remains vital for national interests and Mediterranean stability.
