Morocco’s autonomy plan for the Sahara represents a democratic framework and a pathway for economic and social development, Spanish lawyer Mario de los Angeles Ramos Guillen said in an opinion article published by Atalayar.

Ramos Guillen described the initiative as “part of the construction of a democratic and modern society based on the rule of law and respect for individual and collective freedoms,” adding that it aligns with international law and is the most effective way to promote development in the region.

The lawyer noted that the plan followed extensive consultations with neighboring countries and members of the UN Security Council, who have praised it. She said it provides a framework for local governance while offering financial resources to boost socio-economic growth in the Moroccan Sahara.

Ramos Guillen also highlighted the participation of former Polisario leaders who have joined Morocco to contribute to regional development. She cited her personal visits to the area, observing structural projects expected to deliver both economic and geostrategic benefits for Morocco and Africa.

“During these visits, I witnessed the climate of peace and security in the region, which is poised to flourish fully once the autonomy plan is implemented, ending a longstanding regional dispute,” she said.
