The Moroccan regime is promoting imaginary alternatives to the European justice slap

The Moroccan regime and its political and media arms are still in shock over the decision of the European Court of Justice, which ruled in a non-appealable decision invalidating the sovereignty of the Alawite regime over the occupied Sahrawi territories, by invalidating the fishing agreement signed between Rabat and the 27 countries of the European Union.
The Moroccan palace, through its various arms, has begun to think about occupying public opinion in the Alawite kingdom with marginal and misleading discussions, such as that Rabat has alternatives to replace the European Union, in order to reactivate the agreement suspended by a decision of the European judiciary, as if the matter is merely a matter of preventing European Union ships from fishing in the territorial waters of Western Sahara without referring to its legitimate and sole representative, the Polisario Front, completely ignoring the political and legal repercussions that resulted from this decision, which dealt a fatal blow to the expansionist ambitions of the Moroccan regime.
Instead of searching for political and legal solutions to get out of the impasse that the Moroccan regime found itself in after the European Court of Justice’s decision, the discussions went in another direction, specifically to talk about other countries to compensate for the European countries’ refusal to renew the fishing agreement with Rabat, in compliance with the European Court’s decision, as if it was a matter of some of the millions of dollars that Morocco lost as a result of the collapse of that agreement.
Some media arms of the Alawite regime in Rabat went on to talk about concluding an agreement with Russia and China that includes cooperation in the field of fishing, indicating that the loss of their ally, the European Union, in support of their thesis in Western Sahara, will be compensated by traditional allies of Algeria, namely China and Russia, who are accustomed to not following their expansionist ambitions in Western Sahara at the level of the United Nations, in talk that seems to be aimed at distracting the Moroccan people with empty discussions. What they lost with their European ally, they are looking for with the other party’s ally, China and Russia.
In the midst of the shock, the economic expert, Mohamed Al-Jedri, who was called by one of the Moroccan newspapers to be an expert in hashish, came out to say something that only comes from someone who is intoxicated with hashish, to the effect that “the one most affected by the decision of the European Court of Justice is the European Union, not the Kingdom of Morocco”, because the court’s decision, in the opinion of this “expert”, is likely to “affect Europe with a crisis in the supply of Moroccan agricultural goods and products”. This alleged expert also claimed that the decision is not final, even if it is final and executive.
International law experts and political actors believe that the decision of the European Court of Justice, although it appears to carry an economic dimension by invalidating the fishing agreement, its legal repercussions on the conflict in Western Sahara are more dangerous for the Moroccan regime, because it has drawn a new reality that the Alaouite palace has long feared would occur, namely that the Kingdom of Morocco has no sovereignty over the occupied Sahrawi territories, a trend that is completely contrary to what European countries have taken, such as France and Spain.
The decision of the European Court of Justice will put some presidents, such as French President Emmanuel Macron and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, in a great moral and political embarrassment, because the judicial decision is binding on politicians, and it is usually free from calculations of profit and loss, which gives it a moral dimension that increases the credibility of the right of the Sahrawi people to demand self-determination stipulated in the United Nations resolution in 1991.
In addition, the decision of the European Court of Justice will place legal and moral obstacles to the continuation of the positions of European countries that supported the thesis of the Moroccan regime in Western Sahara, just as it will stand in the way of European countries that may be blackmailed by the Moroccan regime in order to follow in the footsteps of Paris and Madrid.
