Fly again, SanzPolice in Casablanca, with the complicity of the Moroccan airline, from traveling to Laayoune to the Spanish press and the correspondent of EL PAIS newspaper
JUAN CARLOS SANZ | Casablanca (Special Envoy) 11/13/2010
The best tough-guy posturing would not have anything now served Humphrey Bogart to board the flight from Casablanca to Laayoune. Like refugees fleeing the Nazis waited in vain for a spot on the plane from Lisbon on the legendary Michael Curtiz film, the envoy of El País has unsuccessfully tried to travel to the capital of Western Sahara to report on the crisis that arose following the dismantling Izik Agdaym camp.
The door on the Spanish correspondents also hit in the nose of the public around the country. The Rabat security services are devoting great attention to the time of expelling journalists (Cadena SER), withdraw the accreditation (ABC), preventing them off the plane (Efe, Antena 3, public ...) or simply prevent them from flying (EL Pais, El Mundo ...) In the airport of Casablanca also have forced the complicity of the state-owned Royal Air Maroc (RAM).
A Spanish diplomat in Morocco who traveled yesterday from the same Mohamed V International Airport to Laayoune said the Foreign Ministry was taking steps to allow reporters access to the Sahara. "Hopefully in the next few hours or a few days to travel. We must wait", said since the departure lounge.
As in the movie: Wait. Wait. Wait. A public relations officer of the Moroccan Ministry of Communication merely found that he had received a letter announcing the trip COUNTRY to Laayoune and had given process. "I've moved to my superiors, but I have not had a response. You have to wait," he said without further explanation.
When special envoy presented early in the afternoon of Thursday in Casablanca airport boarding pass for the flight to Laayoune (issued from the morning at Terminal 4 of Barajas), a ground assistant consulted RAM two policemen, impeccably dressed, best known as the Armani among foreign correspondents in Rabat, before giving a response:
- Sorry, but there is overbooking, it does happen sometimes but you are first on the waiting list. Again at four-all work out.
- But if the flight is at the same time ...
- Do not worry, it takes quite late.
At three o'clock the airline overbooking problem was still not fixed. And at three and a half flight was already closed and miraculously on time. "Sorry. It can not fly today," shrugged the employee of the RAM.
Shortly before noon on Friday repeated the conversation at the airport, this time with an auxiliary earth
- No reservation number. I can not confirm if there are square.
- The reservation is made from yesterday afternoon, after having been on the waiting list.
- Sorry. Not on the computer.
Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director of the NGO Human Rights Watch (HRW), also sought to go to Laayoune. U.S. blue passport wielding shouting "Show me the screen and do not tell me I'm not in the list of passengers. That's not true. Why I can not travel? I'm not Spanish." Low served complaints by the malfunction of the airline nor the threats of legal action by the financial liability of the national flag carrier. Employees of Royal Air Maroc lowered their head sadly before take a look at the gesture of disapproval of security agents in suits, ensconced behind the desk.
Shortly after, a chief information officer reported that the RAM had already secured places for the afternoon flight on Friday to Laayoune. But when the CEO of HRW and sent COUNTRY appeared again before the check is found in the newspaper El Mundo Ali Lmbret shouting against muhabarat, the Moroccan secret services. "No right! Not let me travel in my own country!" Cried the journalist Lmbret, born in Tetuan, who spent nine months in jail for criticizing the system sidewalk published two satirical weeklies ran before they were closed by the authorities.
"You will feel the same that these gentlemen, your ticket problems," said the employee returned the RAM as identity documents and travel with an expression of profound sadness.
The last attempt to El Pais, for now, to travel to Western Sahara to report on the grounds of greater social unrest emerged in 35 years in the former Spanish colony, has produced this afternoon
- His name is on the passenger list, but the ticket is locked.
- Who gave the order?
- Do not know ... but true ...
At lacked Armani said, "There are places to advise him not to go" to complete a dialogue worthy of Casablanca. It looks like the beginning of a long feud between Morocco and the Spanish press.
