In the year of the World Cup, 2026, the organization of the next one is always a topic. Especially because, at the final ceremony of this year’s World Cup, whoever organized it will, symbolically, hand over “the potato” to the next organization, which is good to be prepared for.
For this reason, last week, the Minister of Justice, Rita Alarcão Júdice, met in Rabat, with her Moroccan and Spanish counterparts, with whom she signed a Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding – the first, in judicial cooperation –, within the scope of the work that is done in silence, with stamps, signatures, and that no one sees, but creates the comfort of the spectator, the tourist!
Another silent, in this context, was an extra training, which the new Ambassador of Portugal in Morocco, would have had, before presenting credentials, in March, in Rabat. In other words, Luís Faro Ramos “went to classes” to better understand and deal with Moroccan codes, which involve a lot of presentation of “data”! This appointment should be valid until the summer of 2030, the same as his colleagues in Lisbon and Madrid, a sign, in silence, of a tune at the top.
With this paperwork as your mat, it will be important to consider the following:
One: Moroccans and Spaniards, at the security level, have always had two common elements – the fight against the nationalist element and against jihadism;
Two: it will be amateur to hold a World Championship without maritime connections between Portugal and Morocco, with two between Spain and Morocco;
Three: such a connection, Portimão-Tânger, scheduled for the summer of 2021, had the bad luck of coming in a year of local elections. Used in campaigns, for and against, it remains in a drawer because there are no minimum conditions;
Four: and for everything to go really well, the next 4 years will have to involve the creation of complicities and secrets between the silent leaders of the three countries. As? “À Isaltino”, at the table, of course, we are all cousins!
Another subject on this radar is Gibraltar, while our eyes are on Hormuz!
In February, the United Kingdom and Spain updated the post-Brexitcertainly in view of the Strait(s) and a new larval reality, a cancerous and pandemic uncertainty. Everything previous was reaffirmed and confirmed, free movement, and Gibraltar was established as the external border of Schengen. A reinforcement of Frontex, which means a reinforcement of security procedures on land and patrols in the air and at sea, in an area that has gained strategic importance, which we never gave it, as Portuguese.
Portugal, could you suggest an invitation to the English, to the table of silence of the “strait dependents”!
