Spanish government’s support to Morocco’s Autonomy Plan for the Sahara, as being “the most serious, realistic and credible basis” for the settlement of the artificial conflict over the Moroccan Sahara, “falls within the framework of the UN“, said Josep Borrell, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, on Thursday.
“The position of Spain, which has opted to support the autonomy proposed by Morocco, is always within the framework of the UN and the resolutions of the UN Security Council,” said the head of European diplomacy in an interview with Televisión Española (TVE), Spain’s state-owned broadcaster.
The support expressed by Pedro Sánchez’s government to the Moroccan initiative is “similar to that adopted by Germany and France, and all these positions meet the UN Charter, which advocates a negotiated solution between the parties involved,” Borrell noted.
“The EU continues to advocate the same approach, namely a negotiated solution between the parties,” he said, adding that it had welcomed, on Monday, the positive development of relations between Morocco and Spain, calling it “beneficial for the implementation of the Euro-Moroccan partnership as a whole.”
The European position is aligned with that of the UN which favors pragmatism, realism, sustainability, and the spirit of compromise. It thus enshrines the pre-eminence of the Moroccan autonomy initiative as the most credible, realistic, and viable solution to the artificial regional conflict over the Moroccan Sahara.
