Galicia, April 28, 2021 (SPS) - In a climate marked by the resumption of the armed struggle in the Western Sahara and the tensions generated by Morocco with neighboring countries, the Galician Parliament supported a motion this Wednesday in which expresses its firm support and solidarity with the Saharawi people and their legitimate representative, the Polisario Front, in accordance with the principles set forth in the Charter of Nations and in the resolutions adopted by the General Assembly and the United Nations Security Council.
The Galician legislature indicates that "given the current situation of armed conflict, we call for the responsibility of the parties to accelerate the negotiation process and find a peaceful solution to the conflict, which respects the rights and freedoms of the Saharawi people"
Along these lines, the motion sees as "fundamental that the United Nations, through its Secretary General, appoint an envoy or special representative for Western Sahara, with full democratic guarantees and respect for the human rights of the Saharawi population." SPS
