The Canarian-Moroccan Association of Cooperation has expressed its support for Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara, saying that it is “the only possible solution,” according to the Spanish news outlet, Canaris7.
“The Autonomy plan is the only solution that can solve the terrible problem of the population in Tindouf, that are having a hard time there,” said Rafael Esparza, President of Canarian-Moroccan Association of Cooperation.
Esparza also criticized the spread of fake news that creates tension between Morocco and the Canary Islands.
Following the recent rapprochement between Madrid and Rabat, the Canarian-Moroccan Association of Cooperation decided to resume its activities, strengthening cooperation between Morocco and the Canary Islands in several areas.
Recently, Morocco and Spain have reached a new agreement on the extradition of Moroccan migrants who arrived irregularly to the Canary Islands.
Authorities opened two new lines from the Canary Islands to Casablanca and Agadir, while utilizing an existing route to Laayoune.
Official data suggest that the number of migrants attempting to reach Europe via the Canary Islands in 2021 amounts to 20,148.
After Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’ meeting with King Mohamed, the two countries have taken important steps with the aim of building new bilateral relations.
Spain’s major shift in policy, endorsing Morocco’s Autonomy plan, has enabled the countries to further work together in different fields; such as the industrial, educational, commercial and cultural sectors.
