The Polisario makes Sánchez ugly that, in order not to "offend" Morocco, he assumes that Western Sahara belongs to him

MADRID, 2 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Polisario Front considers that the speech delivered by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, during the High Level Meeting (RAN) with Morocco, in which he advocated avoiding offenses in "sovereignty spheres", implies assuming that Western Sahara It is part of the Alaouite kingdom, therefore going "beyond" the turn announced in March 2022.

Then, the Spanish government endorsed the Moroccan autonomy plan for Western Sahara as the "most serious, realistic and credible" option to resolve the conflict. This Thursday, Sánchez has promised in Rabat "to avoid everything that we know offends the other party", with a specific allusion to questions of sovereignty.

"The part of sovereignty that concerns Morocco refers to Western Sahara", has assumed the delegate of the Polisario in Spain, Abdulah Arabi, in statements to Europa Press. In his opinion, there is no other reading, which would be leading Sánchez to "detach" from International Law and "ignore" the rulings of the Court of Justice of the EU that establish that Morocco and Western Sahara are "separate territories". .

"We are dealing with two countries", stressed the delegate, immediately recalling that both parties are independently integrated into blocs such as the African Union.

For Arabi, this type of statement confirms the "suspicions" that "Morocco will always condition good relations with Spain to the recognition of its sovereignty over Western Sahara", therefore without taking other possible elements into account.

In this area, it circumscribes that the Moroccan king, Mohamed VI, does not attend the forum or receive Sánchez: "It is one more image of what Morocco is capable of." Arabi has affirmed that "nobody is aware that (the monarch) spends a lot of time outside his country", but has pointed out that in the eyes of Rabat it seems that Spain's concessions "are not enough".
