Morocco has decided to grant political asylum to the former leader of the Catalonia region, Carles Puigdemont, in a new and provocative move against Spain, which recently allowed the Sahrawi President Brahim Ghali to enter its territory. Puigdemont is accused by the Spanish authorities of provoking discord after his attempt to secede Catalonia from Spain in 2017.
According to
Middle East Monitor, the asylum decision was based on “the principle of reciprocity to host the Catalan independence leader” as a response to the Polisario Front Secretary-General going to Spain to receive treatment after contracting Covid-19.
