Belgium’s parliamentary majority is preparing to table a collective motion affirming support for Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara and endorsing Rabat’s 2007 autonomy plan as the sole framework to settle the protracted territorial dispute, according to international media reports.
The vote, initially scheduled for September, has been delayed due to political developments linked to Belgium’s intention to recognize the State of Palestine, with debate on the Sahara dossier expected to resume before the end of the year.
This move follows a consistent line from Brussels, which has described Morocco’s proposal as credible and realistic.
During a visit to Rabat earlier this year, Belgian Foreign Minister Bernard Quintin reiterated that his country views the autonomy initiative as a serious and reliable effort forming a solid basis for compromise.
The motion aligns with growing international backing, including from the United States, France, Spain, and Britain.
