France’s ambassador to Madrid, Jean-Michel Casa, hailed the “historic” shift in Spain’s policy on Western Sahara and described Morocco’s autonomy plan as the “most serious, realistic and credible” solution for resolving the conflict.
The French diplomat explained, in a recent interview with the Spanish news outlet ABC, that “the Spanish government did the only thing it had to do, especially because the decision represents a fundamental interest of Spain as well as the rest of European countries.”
“We have been in this position for a long time, without any indulgence,” he said, noting it was necessary for his country to get out of tense bilateral relations with Spain.
After the path laid by US President Donald Trump by recognizing Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara, “everything became irresistible for countries like Germany and Spain,” he added.
Many important countries such as the United States, Israel, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates reaffirmed “their continued support to Morocco in its political approach to resolve this regional conflict.”
Spain was the latest country to join the list of global players that supported Morocco’s autonomy proposal.
After Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’ meeting with King Mohamed in Rabat, 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 both Morocco and Spain to further work together in different fields; such as the industrial, educational, commercial, and cultural sectors.
