Pedro Sánchez to Visit Algeria in July: A Move That Concerns Morocco

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will make an official visit to Algeria on July 20, 2026, his first since the 2022 diplomatic crisis. The crisis erupted after Spain backed Morocco's autonomy plan for the Sahara, prompting Algeria to suspend its friendship treaty and impose trade restrictions. For Moroccan expats, this visit raises questions about shifting regional alliances. Sánchez will meet President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and attend a business forum to revive bilateral trade. Relations have slowly improved since Algeria appointed a new ambassador to Spain in late 2023. This trip comes as Morocco strengthens its diplomatic standing, with U.S. recognition and growing European support. Moroccan expats in Spain should monitor potential impacts on trade and consular services. Stay tuned for updates as both governments release official statements.

Morocco: New Reforms for Passports, Universities, and a Public Lab

The Moroccan Government Council held on July 9, 2026, adopted several key decisions directly affecting Moroccans, including those living abroad. First, two draft decrees regulate the new biometric passport and modernize transport rules. For higher education, two texts (decrees no. 2.26.327 and 2.26.329) now establish a unified specification for applications for the presidency of a public university or institution. These measures, taken under framework law 59.24, aim to strengthen merit, transparency, and good governance in the sector. Finally, the Official Laboratory of Analyses and Chemical Research of Casablanca (LOARC) will be transformed into a public limited company (draft law no. 03.26). For expats, these reforms mean better quality of consular services (passport), more transparent university governance if you or your children are considering higher education in Morocco, and a modernized chemical research sector, potentially creating investment or scientific collaboration opportunities.
