| Summary: | The XXI century has been witnessing an unprecedented border closure to the free movement of persons, rather than that of products, goods or capital. This has been promoted by northern countries in co-llusion with leaders of southern countries, creating a serious social fracture. The aim of this paper was to analyze how the European Union (EU) is favoring the emergence of a border that crosses Morocco, among other countries, vertically, preventing the arrival of African migrants to the EU. Different secondary sources produced by different international organizations such as the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, the European Commission, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders and others were analyzed The findings suggest that the outs ourcing of the EU border, at the political level, together with the economic relocation of European companies in some southern countries such as Morocco, is consolidating the existence of new spaces which configure what has been termed the vertical border, where new socioeconomic and sybolic scenarios emerge. |
