Lucia Jiménez, President of the Canarian Association of Victims of Terrorism (ACAVITE), expressed his support for Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara, emphasizing that this initiative would “bring justice to the victims of the terrorist attacks launched by the Polisario against Spanish citizens.”
In an interview with the Iberian newspaper El Confidencial, Jiménez said that “the Polisario Front has received great financial aid from Spain and Europe, despite its violent actions,” before adding that “it is inappropriate to support the front and abandon the Spanish citizens.”
The civilian activist continued, saying that “the Socialist and Popular Parties themselves did not support the victims of the terrorist attacks led by the Polisario Front from 1976 to 1986, during which Spanish citizens were kidnapped and killed on the high seas.”
The President of the Canarian Association of Victims of Terrorism added that “the Spanish judiciary has not yet considered the complaint we submitted to the Supreme Court in 2012 regarding the genocide,” considering that “those human crimes left 289 victims among Spanish people.”
“There are still more than 300 terrorist attacks, carried out by the Polisario Front on Spanish territory, whose details have not yet been clarified by the official committees,” according to Jiménez, who confirmed that “the Spanish state does not have the political will to resolve these issues.”
The Canarian Associations of Victims of Terrorism is an NGO comprised of relatives of more than 300 victims, created in 2006 to obtain justice for the crimes perpetrated by the Polisario Front, and more specifically the fishermen killed in the 70s and 80s between the coasts of Western Sahara and the Canary Islands.
