Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, avoided answering any questions about Morocco and Algeria on Monday, during the press conference he held at the end of the third general assembly of the Sahel Alliance, chaired by Spain and which met in Madrid.

According to Spanish newspaper ABC, journalists were warned at the beginning of the conference that “the minister would only answer questions about the Sahel Alliance.”

“It was the first intervention of the minister in front of journalists after Algeria announced, through its state-owned gas company Sonatrach, that it plans to increase gas prices to Spain,” says ABC.

The same source recalls that it was the minister’s first public appearance after Morocco canceled the meeting between Albares and his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita, initially scheduled for last Friday.
