The topic is still making headlines in Spain. On Tuesday March 22nd, many media platforms were commenting on the "exclusive news" reported by Spanish magazine ¡Hola!, suggesting that King Mohammed VI and Princess Lalla Salma would have allegedly divorced. In addition to the speculations put forward by the Iberian neighbor, several media outlets quoted Spanish news agency EFE's recent reports on the same topic. Libertad Digital claims that a spokesman for the Royal Palace told the agency that there was "no comment to make" on the rumors. In fact, during a government meeting, a journalist from the Spanish agency asked Mustapha El Khalfi, spokesman for the government, a question about the matter. However, he declined to comment insisting that "this question should be asked to the Royal Palace". Contacted by Yabiladi, Javier Otazu, head od EFE's representative office in Morocco, let us know that he had contacted the Royal Palace, insisting that the minister's response was "not informative enough to be published". Moreover, faced with the silence of the local press, Otazu claimed: "We try to do the work that the Moroccan press is not doing". For the record, Spanish magazine ¡Hola! published an article on March 21st entitled: "Mohammed VI and Princess Lalla Salma divorced". The information was immediately relayed by several Spanish media including EFE, El Mundo and ABC.
