The Spanish government expressed on Tuesday its willingness to “resume” relations with the separatist Polisario Front, “to help resolve the conflict over the Western Sahara, within the framework of the UN and by mutual agreement of the parties,” reports Spanish news outlet, EFE.
At a press conference following the Council of Ministers, Isabel Rodriguez, Minister of Territorial Policy and Government Spokesperson, was asked about the decision of the Polisario Front to suspend diplomatic relations with Spain due to the Iberian government’s change of position on the Western Sahara.
Rodriguez expressed the willingness of the Spanish government to “resume” contact.
On April 10, the Polisario announced the suspension of its relations with Spain, citing the latter’s newly-found support for Morocco’s autonomy planas the reason.
Spain has shifted its historic “neutral” position on the conflict, breaking decades of foreign policy tradition, culminating in Spanish President Pedro Sanchez’s meeting with Mohammed VI last week.
