The Union of Farmers and Cattle Ranchers Unions has expressed concern over a contract awarded to the Acento consultancy, which includes former politicians from both major Spanish parties, to represent Moroccan interests in negotiations with the European Union. The agricultural union argues that this arrangement could potentially harm Spanish agriculture and is calling on the major parties to establish rules or ethical codes to prevent such conflicts of interest in the future. The union also criticizes the parties for allowing their former contacts to be used to advance the interests of other countries at the expense of Spain.
