Deputy Secretary for Institutional Affairs and spokesman for the European People’s Party is calling for the EU to intervene in opening Morocco’s commercial customs with Ceuta and Melilla.
Esteban González Pons accused the governments of Spain and Morocco of not having “the will” to open the two customs, despite the commitments made by both countries after the joint declaration of April last year.
“I must honestly say that I have the feeling that neither Morocco nor the Sanchez government have the intention to reopen the commercial customs before the general elections”, said Esteban González Pons from the Melilla border with Morocco, while on a visit on March 3rd.
The PP leader, who was accompanied by the party president in Melilla, Juan José Imbroda, demanded that “commercial customs be reopened.”
“If not, we must take note of our discomfort and ask for the support of the European Union to force a reopening,” he said.
To the Deputy Secretary for Institutional Affairs and spokesman for the European People’s Party, “the government of Pedro Sánchez has given in on almost everything in Morocco.”
The official criticized the tests carried out before the opening of customs to focus on the operation.
“This is a customs office that has been operating normally since the 19th century” in the case of Melilla, he recalled.
Esteban González Pons said he was “very concerned about the delay and the lies accumulated” on this issue, calling on the Spanish executive to “reopen once and for all the commercial customs with Morocco.”
Pons announced that he will bring this request to the EU, because “if the government of Sanchez is unable to open the customs of Ceuta and Melilla with Morocco, it is up to Brussels to do so,” he concluded.
