Castillejos, Morocco, Aug 15 (EFE).- Moroccan authorities on Saturday ordered media workers from EFE and Spanish public broadcaster TVE to leave Fnideq, Castillejos, where they were covering the situation at the border with the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
The hotels where the journalists were staying told them they had received orders from local authorities to leave immediately.
Earlier, a representative of Morocco’s Interior Ministry had ordered EFE and TVE journalists to leave the town, without explaining the reason for the decision.
The official said only that he was “following instructions” and warned the journalists that their professional credentials and equipment could be confiscated if they did not leave Fnideq.
EFE contacted Morocco’s Interior Ministry but had not received a response.
