As it seeks a scapegoat to pin its corruption scandals, the European Parliament picked Morocco by issuing a hostile resolution that interferes with Morocco\u2019s judiciary.<\/p>\n

The resolution picked the cases of three journalists indicted on sexual assault charges to denounce Morocco for violating press freedom in a blatant disrespect for the victims as well as a disregard for the independence of Morocco\u2019s judiciary.<\/p>\n

This case of interference in the sovereign affairs of the EU\u2019s most stable southern neighbor outraged Moroccan institutions, political class and the civil society.<\/p>\n

The National Press Council rejected the resolution and its intent on politicizing human rights and press freedom to serve a political agenda hostile to Morocco\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n

The higher judicial council issued a statement condemning the resolution and the attempts by the European Parliament to influence Morocco\u2019s judiciary.<\/p>\n

It recalled the criminal character of the trials in which the three journalists had a fair trial on charges including human trafficking, sexual abuse and the exploitation of other persons\u2019 vulnerability.<\/p>\n

The resolution was also rejected by Moroccan political parties. It is characterized by a superiority complex, an interventionism that politicizes human rights and press freedom in order to advance a political agenda, and a superiority complex.<\/p>\n

They warned of the repercussions of the European Parliament\u2019s blackmail on ties with Morocco echoing earlier warnings by Morocco\u2019s foreign minister who described such moves as a harassment undermining Morocco-EU partnership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
