The Polisario Front believes that Sánchez's trip shows his "indisputable support" for Morocco
The Polisario Front described this Thursday the trip of the acting president, Pedro Sánchez, and his family to Marrakech as a sign of their “indisputable support” for Morocco.
Through a statement, the representative in Spain of the Saharawi Front, Abdulah Arabi, stressed that, despite Moncloa's explanations that the trip is private, the truth is that “it entails enormous political content”..
Thus, the statement points out that the Moroccan press itself interprets Sánchez's trip as a sign of his “absolute support for the illegitimate claim maintained by Morocco regarding Western Sahara.”.
For Arabi, the choice of the acting president's holiday destination is also “the only fact with which Morocco can aspire to get out of the difficult legal situation” in which it finds itself by negotiating with the EU the fishing in the Sahara as if it were in moroccan waters.
Thus, despite the fact that Moncloa “has insisted on limiting this trip to the strictly private sphere”, said election “carries with it enormous political content, which goes far beyond the private sphere”, he stressed.
