Shahid Alhafid, 11 April 2022 (SPS) - The Permanent Office of the National Secretariat of the Polisario Front has considered that the recent position of the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, on the Sahrawi issue, "is a step forward in the direction of trampling international legitimacy and the right of the Sahrawi people to freedom and independence".
In a statement culminating its meeting on Sunday, chaired by the President of the Republic, Secretary-General of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali, the Office once again condemned the "position of the Spanish prime minister in support of Morocco's aggressive expansionist thesis," stressing that it was "a step forward in the direction of trampling international legitimacy and the legitimate rights of the Sahrawi people, enshrined in the Charter and resolutions of the United Nations."
In this context, the office commended the "overwhelming solidarity momentum on the part of the Spanish peoples, their political, trade union and civil society forces, which emphasize the legal, political and moral responsibility of the Spanish state towards the Sahrawi people, which it cannot renounce unilaterally."
The Polisario Front announced on Saturday, in a statement, that it had suspended contacts with the current Spanish government following Pedro Sánchez's recent position.
