Sources close to rodríguez zapatero to whom el confidencial digital has had access , the situation is “very serious”, since there is no certainty as to where the kidnapped people are. But above all, the presence of al qaeda in the maghreb as protagonists is worrying, because, in that case, they are no longer somali pirates. The reaction of the families of the kidnapped aid workers is very worrying. Sources from the presidential circle do not hide their evident unease, due to the memory of the mobilizations during the kidnapping of the 'alakrana' . Diplomats with experience in mauritania, whom ecd has consulted , summarize the situation like this: -- it is good news that the mauritanian gendarmerie is in charge of the search. In addition to having received training and resources from the spanish civil guard (although it was mainly for the fight against immigration), the gendarmerie, in a state as weak as the mauritanian one, is one of the few institutions that articulates the state presence . -- the gendarmerie controls a large part of the territory, although not all. Nor do they control all border demarcations.
Interlocution will be easier in this conflict than in the case of 'alakrana', or in the event that the kidnapping had occurred, for example, in niger, because it is established through the mauritanian government. -- the area has been at high risk for a few years Special Database due to the presence of itinerant gangs dedicated to banditry. -- the mauritanian government “does know” who these groups of kidnappers are. -- mauritania is one of the 'darlings' of spanish international cooperation . This good treatment of spanish development aid is explained by its fishing value , essential for spanish companies in the sector, and by the receptive attitude of mauritanians in the fight against immigration . -- it is interpreted that the mauritanian government will do everything in its power, while spain is its great protector (the spanish embassy itself is next to the presidential palace) and the spanish government has always maintained an attitude of "Pragmatism" , without aligning nor confront any of the coup factions that have led to changes of power in the country in recent years. This favors dialogue and the ability to put pressure on local authorities .
The spanish ambassador in nouakchott, alonso dezcallar , has only been in office for a few months. The previous ambassador, alejandro polanco, is now general director of fisheries resources after the experience accumulated in this area during his embassy in mauritania .The conference, at the 'fórum europa tribuna cataluña', was held the day after the joint editorial of twelve catalan newspapers in defense of the 'estatut'. The president of the lower house limited himself to saying that “our constitution has gone through complicated moments and they have been resolved; let us have tranquility, prudence and patience, because I am convinced that the constitution will once again offer us fruits in favor of coexistence.” but, as el confidencial digital has learned , bono's authentic opinion is different. In an aside, he commented to some people around him that he does not like the situation that is being experienced with the 'estatut' and the constitutional controversy .
