Sánchez urges to "move positions" regarding the Sahara and stresses that Ceuta and Melilla "are Spanish territory"

MADRID, 8 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has urged the rest of the parties to "move positions" with respect to the Sahara as the Government has already done, while at the same time making it clear that the Spanishness of Ceuta and Melilla is not in question and that is what has made clear to Morocco.

Before the plenary session of the Congress of Deputies, Sánchez once again defended that the Moroccan autonomy plan for the Sahara is "the most solid, credible and realistic base" to resolve the conflict and that is how more and more countries see it, including which has cited France, the United States and Germany.

In this sense, "47 years should be enough to understand that we have to move our positions", the president maintained, addressing the rest of the groups, who have criticized the turn of the Government, defending that what is sought is nothing more than to favor dialogue and the achievement of a mutually acceptable solution between the parties sponsored by the UN.

On the other hand, Sánchez has indicated that in his meeting with King Mohamed VI on April 7, he made it clear that Spain does not accept that "Ceuta and Melilla are spoken of as occupied cities because they are Spanish territory." "The Spanish sovereignty over Ceuta and Melilla is beyond doubt as in any other part of the national territory," he stressed.
