Morocco votes to review ties with European Parliament | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⬇️
Morocco’s members of both houses of Parliament take part in a joint session in the capital Rabat, on January 23, 2023. – Moroccan lawmakers unanimously rejected a European Parliament’s non-binding text adopted on January 19, urging the kingdom to respect press freedom.
Under a 1996 agreement, Morocco and the European Union have been linked in tight economic and commercial relations, particularly in agriculture and fishing. The Reporters Without Borders watchdog welcomed the EU parliament vote as a break with “25 years of passivity”.“Behind the scenes of this decision hides a country which we had thought of as a friend and a solid partner, but the smell of gas has made it lose it”, said Ahmed Touizi, of the Authenticity and Modernity Party.
Radi, 36, who has been critical of Moroccan authorities, was sentenced to six years in prison for rape and espionage, charges he denies.
