Morocco’s autonomy plan to resolve the dispute over the Sahara is the “most credible and reasonable” solution, said former Spanish Defense Minister, Jose Bono, according to Spanish media outlets.
“Morocco’s proposal is the most credible and the most reasonable, and this has been recognized by countries such as the US, Germany, France, and Spain,” stressed Bono, who was invited to a TV Spanish program, greeting his country’s support for Morocco’s proposal on the Sahara issue.
“Sincerely, changing the position on the Sahara has been a success of the Government”, because what the affected population wants is “to live and not starve”, he added
For the former president of the Congress of Deputies, the Moroccan autonomy initiative is “undoubtedly in the interest of the populations of the Sahara, who need solutions, not resolutions.”
Bono also warned against the thesis of a “radicalism that does not benefit anyone, except the Polisario front, which does not work democratically.”
Regarding relations between his country and Morocco, he highlighted the importance for Spain of “getting along with a good neighbor and a good friend like Morocco.”
Late in April, Spain stood behind Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez previously said in a statement that, “we are entering a new phase in relations with Morocco based on mutual respect, agreements, absence of unilateral measures, transparency, and permanent communication.”
