Spanish news outlets have announced, last week, that the Sanchez government has granted €26 million to Morocco to manage irregular migration. This fund is allocated by the European Union and not Spanish taxpayers.
In a new attempt to help Morocco curb migration flows, Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell said that his country has urged the EU to increase financial aid granted to Rabat. This request comes as the Kingdom said it has managed to decrease migrant arrivals in Spain.
Born and raised in Amsterdam, Nadia Bouras is a Moroccan-Dutch historian who is interested in debunking myths on Moroccan migration in the Netherlands. The researcher is currently working on a book and a documentary on Amsterdam’s first Arab school.
