Madrid (Spain), June 9, 2021 (SPS) - During the control session of the Government of Spain in the Congress of Deputies, Arancha González Laya, Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, has warned that the position of her country in relation to Western Sahara and the unfinished decolonization process is a “State policy” that has been constant and has not changed “for a simple reason, because it is anchored in inalienable principles such as the defense of multilateralism and respect for international legality ”.
In response to the Popular Group, the Foreign Minister recalled the position of all political parties and the unanimous support for an active policy on the part of Spain to assume historical and legal responsibilities in Western Sahara. Laya has cited the motion approved unanimously, on March 10, 2021, and in which the different political forces request the government to “actively support and facilitate at the UN, the European Union, and the rest of international organizations a political solution in accordance with international law and UN resolutions, in which must constitute a remote State policy devoid of controversies and partisan confrontations”.
