After 'migration crisis', politicians want to remove the World Cup from Morocco

Now, the Spanish far-right party joins the left-wing coalition Sumar and Portuguese Livre, in protest against the 'migration crisis' in Ceuta.

However, Vox went further and stated that it had "serious doubts" about Morocco's ability to participate in the organization of an event like the World Cup and considered that, if it was not expelled, the situation would be a "deliberate humiliation" for Spain.

Furthermore, he also called for "complete transparency and objectivity" regarding Morocco's participation, after reports emerged that FIFA President Gianni Infantino had offered the championship final to the North African country in exchange for electoral support. The information was, however, denied by the entity.

"An event of this magnitude requires the host states to offer full guarantees of security and stability, in addition to maintaining a relationship of trust, cooperation and mutual loyalty", said Vox, arguing that these conditions were "violated" after the "intolerable invasion of Spanish territory by more than 80 thousand Moroccans in Ceuta".

Vox joins Sumar and Portuguese Livre

In Portugal, Livre sent a letter to the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, calling on him to publicly express the Portuguese Government's opposition "to maintaining Morocco as a partner country for the Football World Cup in 2030".

"Realizing the sensitivity of the matter, we hope that diplomacy and contact with the Real Federación Española de Fútbol and the Spanish government will be carried out as quickly as possible, in order to make a decision that does not impact the organization of the championship and the organizational role of Portugal and Spain", say the Livre deputies.

In Spain, the Sumar party also called for Morocco to be removed from the joint organization of the World Cup, citing human rights violations following the massive entry of migrants at the Ceuta border.

Through a non-binding motion, the four signatory deputies - three of which belong to the United Left - asked the Spanish government to formally communicate to FIFA, the Spanish federation and the Portuguese Executive the need to review the joint organization model of the competition.

In the proposal, Sumar argued that an event of this scale implies a significant mobilization of public resources and commitments made by States, demanding from host countries "effective and continuous respect for human rights, international law and democratic principles".

In the document, the parliamentary group also demanded the carrying out of an independent study on the risks to human rights in host countries, to be presented to Congress within six months, accompanied by proposals for action if serious violations are confirmed.

It is worth noting that, in addition to being organized in Portugal, Spain and Morocco, the 2030 World Cup will also include three commemorative games in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay, marking the centenary of the first edition of the competition, played in Montevideo, in 1930.
