Sensing that political winds in Spain may be shifting in favor of a broad right-wing bloc, Polisario leader Brahim Ghali appears to be making overtures to the People's Party (PP) and Vox. In remarks to a conservative Spanish media outlet, Ghali warned of what he described as the threat posed by «Moroccan expansionism» to Spain's continued sovereignty over Ceuta and Melilla.
Even though the Moroccan State has toned down the territorial dispute over the possession of Gibraltar, the Kingdom was at the center of almost all the political solutions surrounding the Spanish-British disagreement over the control of the overseas territory. This was confirmed later through a letter that was sent in July 1940.
