The Moroccan diplomatic mission in the Canary Islands is embroiled in a deepening human rights and legal crisis. The General Consulate in Las Palmas is facing accusations of professional persecution and administrative abuse from its locally hired staff. Consul General Fatiha El Kamouri is directly implicated by employees, who hold contracts governed by Spanish law, for allegedly exerting severe psychological pressure.

This pressure reportedly led to one employee suffering a severe heart attack. The consulate has so far refused to comply with rulings issued by Spanish judicial authorities concerning the matter. The situation highlights potential conflicts between diplomatic immunity and labor laws, particularly concerning the treatment of locally employed staff. Further developments are expected as the legal dispute unfolds.
