Ghali heads the Algeria-backed Polisario Front.
His presence in Spain has angered Morocco which has accused the Spanish government of endangering relations with Rabat.
In a response to a strongly-worded statement by the Moroccan Foreign Ministry, Spanish Foreign Minister, Arancha Gonzalez Laya, said Spain had “nothing to add to what has been said” regarding Ghali’s case.
The Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a strongly worded statement rejecting Madrid’s justifications for the decision to receive Ghali.
The ministry said that the failure of the Spanish authorities to inform their Moroccan counterparts of Ghali’s hospitalisation was not a “simple omission but rather a premeditated act, a voluntary choice and a sovereign decision by Spain, of which Morocco takes full note.”

A diplomatic dispute between Morocco and Spain over Madrid’s decision to host a leader of the Western Saharan independence movement has soured what had been improving relations across the Mediterranean Sea.
Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Polisario Front, which wants for independence of the Sahrawi people in Western Sahara, is being treated at a hospital in Logroño in northern Spain, after he was infected with COVID-19.
His presence in Spain has angered Morocco which has accused the leftist government in Madrid of endangering relations with Rabat.
The Polisario Front fought a long war against Morocco to win the independence of the disputed Western Saharan territory. Despite a truce in 1991, both sides have been at loggerheads for years.

This week, the on-going tensions between Morocco and Germany have reached a new level, after Morocco took exception to Berlin s stance on its claims to the Western Sahara. Last Thursday, the Moroccan Foreign Ministry recalled their ambassador, Zohour Alaoui, and published a list of allegations against the German government. This kind of pressure is unprecedented, Dr Maria Josua, research fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) in Hamburg, told DW on the phone.
