Morocco had never asked these media for a blind or unconditional support, Naciri told the press.

    "As a great Nation which shares with the civilized and democratic countries the same values of tolerance and freedom,  Morocco only expects from its partners to share with it the same respect for the neighborhood in order to build together a Mediterranean area of peace, cooperation and stability," he added.

    This is obviously incompatible with any attempt to undermine Morocco's legitimate interests, through resorting to lies, falsification and defamation, the Minister pointed out.

    Naciri also denounced the unethical and unprofessional way by which some Spanish media treated the Moroccan government’s statement, issued on November 13, which condemned the hateful and racist drift of these media towards Morocco.

    "Instead of addressing the fundamental issues that were raised, some Spanish press institutions only pointed out that the Moroccan government convened the press to express its indignation and anger," he underlined.

    The Minister added that these press institutions did not mention the flagrant falsification practices that Morocco discussed and denounced in its statement.

    They did not also referred to their systematic misleading of the Spanish and international public opinion on the events that took place recently in Laayun (southern Morocco), as they deliberately attributed to Morocco “criminal abuses”, which are not part of its culture and practice, Naciri said.
