Like a master class in foreign policy, the diplomat Jorg Dezgallar stated in it public mirror what is happening in the world at this stage that it seems everything has turned upside down. He has just completed Embrace the World, a book in which he reveals the shift in direction in geopolitics, sharing his vision of current issues with the wisdom of his experience and the pragmatism of teaching.
For Dezgallar, that’s obvious in relation to Western Sahara there was one position changeto the extent that there is a formal acknowledgment of acceptance of a path already implicitly acknowledged, but with less emphasis and clarity than at this point.” Last Friday was known as “a leak from the Royal Palace of Morocco” What Spain supported the Moroccan government’s proposal for an autonomy plan for the Saharaui territory, which has always defended its independence. So far, our country has stayed on the sidelines in defending a selfdetermination referendum as long as both parties agree.
“If anyone thinks that this is why Morocco will give up Ceuta and Melilla, they have to look at this.”
Jorge Dezgallar assures that he does not disagree with the content “because the United Nations Charter also spoke of autonomy as a realistic proposal and I think it is realistic because there will never be a referendum because no Moroccan government will accept it never, because the Sahara in Morocco is a national thing. They think they already have it, and they think having autonomy is a big concession. Dezgallar yes criticizes the forms. “Another thing is that I think the government explained it wrong. This is an important matter for Spain and we find out because there is a leak from the Royal Palace of Morocco that there is a letter that the Prime Minister would have sent…”
“The gas is the blood that flows through the veins of Algeria and nobody cuts their veins”
In the same letter, Sánchez particularly emphasized the relationship between Morocco and Spain because “the two countries are inextricably linked by affection, history, geography, interests and a common friendship.”
Asked about the exchange of statements between former Presidents José María Aznar and José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, the diplomat described them as “a certain immaturity because “foreign policy is state policy, states are moved by interests and these interests do not change because they don’t change the government in power changes.” Dezgallar insists “It is unfortunate that there is disagreement on such an important and sensitive issue”.
It also clarifies that there is “a leeway” in this agreement on the migration issue Morocco could agree to better control it and prevent jumps to the fenceBut warns: “If anyone thinks that this is why Morocco will relinquish their claim to Ceuta and Melilla, they have to honestly get them to look at it.” Dezgallar also doesn’t think Algeria will respond with the gas “Because Algeria is a serious country that fulfills its obligations, but above all because Algeria lives on gas. If Algeria doesn’t sell gas, it just doesn’t eat and can’t afford to.
Although he admits he imagines unease on the part of the Algerian authorities, the diplomat believes it will manifest itself in ways other than the gas. “The gas is the blood that runs through the veins of Algeria and nobody cuts their veins,” he explains.
About the war between Russia and Ukraine
Dezgallar explains that “the Ukraine cause is a pawn in a much broader movement involving Ukraine End of the rules that have governed the functioning of global geopolitics since 1945 and which were slightly modified with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991″.
Some rules based on multilateralism, some conflictresolution institutions, the will to settle things through speech have “been forgotten by a series of problems Countries that have come onto the big stages of the world in recent years with the will to become stars such as China.
Jorge Dezgallar predicts that the Russian invasion of Ukraine it is a “very bad” war, because if Russia is victorious, “an arrogant Russia is dangerous, and if it goes wrong, it will not be good either, because it will want revenge”.
