The Spanish government, through the delegate in Extremadura, José Luis Quintana, has formally reminded the regional government that foreign policy and diplomatic relations with Morocco fall exclusively under the jurisdiction of the national state. This statement was issued on August 7 in Plasencia in response to comments made by the regional vice president and Vox leader, Oscar Fernández.
The exchange was prompted by discussions regarding the potential repatriation of unaccompanied foreign minors to Morocco. By asserting state authority, the central government has signaled its intent to maintain centralized control over international migration protocols, effectively challenging the regional administration's attempts to intervene in matters of foreign affairs.
