The same Spanish official highlighted that the two countries had pledged to “open talks on airspace management, without intending to concede,” during the high-level summit between the two countries in April 2022.

Sanchez’s government has confirmed that it is negotiating with Morocco over the management of the airspace of the Moroccan Sahara, which currently relies on air traffic controllers for the Canary Islands. In this way, Spain and Morocco will comply with Point 7 of the Joint Declaration that the two countries signed in April 2022.

Controversy arose again about Spain’s intention to cede management of airspace to Morocco, after the Spanish government responded to a question by Senator Fernando Clavijo, a member of the Canary Islands, about the outcome of the negotiations with the Kingdom of Morocco on the matter.

It was understood from the Spanish government’s response that negotiations between the two countries had begun “actually” to concede Madrid in favor of Morocco to manage the field, but the head of Spanish diplomacy, according to what was reported by the President of the Canary Islands, made it clear that the negotiations are limited only to “improving management methods”, and not a complete concession.

“We expect a large participation in the strikes,” Verdi president Frank Wernicke said.

This call indicates the increasingly tense social climate in Germany, which is witnessing strong inflation of 8.7% last February, and several strikes have been carried out for several months, affecting various professional sectors, schools and hospitals.

The two unions are calling for large wage increases of 10.5% for Verdi and 12% for “EVG” to compensate for the effects of inflation, demands that were rejected during negotiating sessions in recent weeks by representatives of employers, who are mainly the state and municipalities.

The state and municipalities propose an increase of 5%, with two single payments of 1,000 and 1,500 euros, respectively, in May 2023 and January 2024.

Unions also complain of deteriorating working conditions in the context of a labor shortage in the country.

On March 11, the airports of Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg and Hanover were forced to cancel 351 flights because security staff stopped working for 24 hours.

The strike has affected the port of Hamburg, the largest in Germany, since Wednesday, which has restricted the entry of ships over 90 meters in length.

Morocco benefits from the electrical connection with Spain, and also benefits from the mechanism established by the Moncloa Palace last June to reduce the price of electricity, which led to a reduction in the cost of megawatts for the Spaniards, and therefore, for other importing countries, including Morocco, which has an electrical connection with Spain.

The International Energy Agency said in a recent report that this “Iberian exception”, that is, a reduction in the price of electricity, will lead to an increase in gas consumption.

It should be noted that Morocco also exports electricity to Spain, however, since Algeria closed the gas pipeline between the Maghreb and Europe (GME) that crosses Morocco in October 2021, the Kingdom’s exports decreased, and the need to import electricity increased.

And last June, the Kingdom reached an agreement with Spain to transfer gas through GME in the opposite direction, to restart the two gas thermal plants in Ain Beni Mathar and Tahadart.
