As we reported on 3 March, Google Maps has taken to give the Spanish territory to Morocco.
As our readers know, Chafarinas Islands are a Spanish archipelago of the Mediterranean Sea, located off the coast of North Africa. The archipelago consists of three main islands of Congress, Elizabeth II and King, which are protected in the form of National Reserve.
Without civilian population stable. Elizabeth II on the island is a small military garrison belonging to the Great Captain 1st Regiment of the Legion made up of 30 people, and a team of staff on behalf of the National Parks Autonomous Body (old icons) of the Ministry of Environment.
Well, those who have tried to find our islands in Google Earth, you have met an unpleasant surprise to the islands located in Morocco, as we see in the capture made the browser.
ALSO PEREJIL
The last known case is the islet of Perejil, occupied by Morocco for a short time in 2002, until our legionaries stormed the island and dropped to troops in a magnificent Moroccan military operation ordered by José María Aznar. In the information handled by the form the name of the territories is written in Arabic and French, two of the most used languages in the neighboring country.
AND WIKIPEDIA
... It does not say that Perejil is Spanish. Specifically states:
Today is uninhabited and there's no symbol of sovereignty by both countries claim the island as its own (Spain and Morocco). Spain claims that Perejil is part of its territory, although its political and administrative situation is obscure, and which is neither part of the autonomous city of Ceuta (the draft statute of autonomy ceutí4 included the island as a territory of the city but this reference was removed over the protests of Morocco) and a considerable time of sovereignty.
For Morocco sovereignty does not provide legal doubts and part of its national territory so we dispute their possession to Spain, which led to a famous incident in 2002 (in the press release issued by the Moroccan news agency MAP, equivalent the Spanish Diplomatic Information Office, the island is described as being located in territorial l'intérieur du royaume des eaux, "within the territorial waters of the kingdom") .5 Following this incident, both countries signed a note in which undertook to return to the situation before the incident, so that the island would be evicted, without abandoning any of them, however, his claims territoriales.
The voracity of Google ("Do not be evil ', calls for its slogan, ironically ...) when appropriate themes, ideas and designs (not always pay) can lead to the American colossus to large losses and a wear their reputation safe. If applied to itself the stringent rules that apply to the horrible bastards who put Adsense ads, Google does not know how it would end.
In Spain, Google Earth has already clearly differentiated España.Ha Catalonia Catalonia granted independence. For eggs. And now you pay taxes in Ireland. I guess it's all legal, which does not mean it's ethical.
One question: What is Google against Spain?
