Peruvian Daily “La Razon” condemns contradictions in Peru’s diplomacy towards Morocco
alalam24 ,The Peruvian newspaper “La Razon”, one of the most prominent print media in the South American country, has condemned the contradictions in Peru’s diplomacy towards Morocco after it had sacrificed its traditional values and principles for the interests of the Sao Paulo Forum.
Under the headline “Behind the Peru-Morocco Match”, the newspaper took advantage of the context of the match between the two national teams, scheduled for next Tuesday in Madrid, to emphasize the “good intentions” of the Moroccan authorities after accepting to play against the Peruvian elite, which ranks 21st in FIFA rankings.
Referring to “the strong friendship that united the two countries until recently,” La Razon regrets the decision of the ousted President Pedro Castillo to recognize a fake republic, criticizing the position of “his followers, including Manuel Rodriguez Cuadros, Oscar Martua, and Cesar Landa, who tarnished Peru’s image and isolated it by submitting to the interests of the Sao Paulo Forum and imposing their personal ideology on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs without regard for its traditional foreign policy, values, and principles.”
“They have erased the diplomatic prestige of Peru through their ‘absurdity’ by recognizing a non-existent republic, attacking the territorial integrity of Morocco, and destroying the positive neutrality we had at the United Nations, where Morocco’s autonomy plan for its Sahara is considered a ‘serious, realistic and credible proposal’,” said Ricardo Sanchez Serra, the author of the article.
The newspaper mentioned that for Morocco, things are clear: friendly countries are those that respect the unity of its territory and support its national cause.
La Razon also stopped in this context at the recent visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, to the United States, noting that during this visit, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stressed “the strong links between the two countries as main geopolitical allies.” Blinken also highlighted Morocco’s important role in ensuring stability and security in North Africa and in the troubled areas of the African continent, which suffer from instability and terrorism, according to the newspaper that confirmed the important American support for the Moroccan proposal in the Sahara.
“For Peru, which is playing in the big leagues of politics, it is content with trivialities and small things and prefers to live in isolation,” the newspaper concluded, hoping that the Peru-Morocco football match will be a beacon that enlightens our leaders and that both countries win.
