Ministry, and the government as a whole, have to ask google maps for explanations ” for the incident. De arístegui recalls that this type of “management” is usually done “with due discretion.”the incident occurred in mid-june, when the helicopter that supplies the melilla regulars garrison, in flight to the rock to carry out its duties, flew over twice, on different days, the yacht on which mohamed vi was taking vacations . Property of a friend of the monarch. To go from melilla to the rock of al hoceima and cover the distance of eighty kilometers that separates both points, the helicopter has to fly over moroccan sovereign waters and territory , a matter that can be done under an agreement signed between spain and morocco. It is worth remembering that the rock of alhucemas and other minor places of sovereignty are the only territories of the spanish state that depend directly on the central government , without another political body - community or autonomous city, municipality - in between. Mohamed vi was especially bothered by the fact that the helicopter flew very low .
The alawite monarch, unlike his father, hassan ii, is particularly fond of northern morocco, a region traditionally hostile to the moroccan crown , and likes to spend his holidays relaxing and practicing water sports on the mediterranean coast of morocco, especially Special Database in around cabo negro , even though morocco's mediterranean coast is much less extensive than its atlantic coastal strip. In any case, morocco's complaints led to the suspension of the flights and the express request for an apology from the defense staff , until, finally, after a negotiation between the parties, the system of supplying the garrison stationed in al hoceima. The incident has caused serious concern and turbulence in foreign affairs , according to diplomatic sources consulted by el confidencial digital , who also point out the personal annoyance expressed by minister moratinos himself in the face of a potentially serious incident. After what happened around the perejil islet in 2002 , the minister does not want any problem that has to do with the sovereign places. What happened is considered particularly inopportune for various reasons: firstly, it implies a failure of the main guideline of foreign policy towards morocco, consisting of not giving cause for discontent to the alawite monarch , so as not to cloud the current bilateral hispanic idyll.
-moroccan. In return, discontent grows in madrid towards the dismissed ambassador in rabat, luis planas . Secondly, episodes such as the one that recently occurred once again highlight the disagreements that exist in the ministry itself : although official policy involves the defense of these minor places of sovereignty, many senior officials consider that the transfer to morocco of some or all of these places (peñones de alhucemas and vélez de la gomera and the chafarinas islands, and giving up the perejil islet) would be an advantageous exercise in political realism , although it should be noted that quite a few diplomats who are experts in the maghreb consider these places as a strategic advantage in the face of any negotiation with morocco. Finally, as diplomatic sources inform this newspaper, mohamed vi's reaction can be interpreted within an escalation of protest gestures by morocco to gain sovereignty over the minor squares and also over the autonomous cities of ceuta and melilla.
