The Greens Group in the European Parliament commended on Saturday Morocco’s commitment to the ceasefire.

“Because it is vital to preserve the political and economic stability of the region, I welcome Morocco’s commitment to the ceasefire”, underlined MEP Mounir Satouri in Twitter on behalf of the Greens group in the European Parliament, noting that “the free movement of people and goods is not negotiable”.

The MEP said in this context that “Europe must encourage the relaunch of the political process” for the final settlement of the artificial conflict over the Moroccan Sahara.

Previously, European Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement Olivér Várhelyi welcomed Morocco’s commitment to the ceasefire.

“I welcome Morocco’s commitment to the ceasefire. Guaranteeing the free movement of people and goods is fundamental,” Várhelyi said on his twitter account.

He added that “tensions must give way to the political process”, stressing that “it is essential to preserve the political and economic stability of the neighborhood”.

Several European politicians and experts have underlined the legitimacy of the intervention of the Royal Armed Forces to secure the passage linking Morocco and Mauritania through the buffer zone of Guergarate.

They also denounced the actions of the Polisario, supported by Algeria, and its acts of provocation against Minurso.
