Madrid,
11/02/2007 (SPS) The Parliamentarian intergroups "Peace and freedom
for the Saharawi people", that gather elected Parliamentarians from
the two chambers of the Spanish national Parliament and of the
legislative assemblies of all the Spanish regions,
called on the Spanish Government on Saturday to "interrupt the deal
of weapons to Morocco".
"The information about the decision of Spain to sell weapons to
Morocco in this delicate situation in the process (of the settlement
of the Western Sahara conflict) disrupt the efforts of peace and
push to the deduction that Morocco has undertaken steps towards
resuming hostilities", the intergroups affirmed in a statement.
"We express our deep concern and call on the Spanish authorities,
the European Union and the UN’s Security Council to interrupt the
deal of weapons to Morocco as long as the conflict is not resolved",
stressed the statement adopted in the end of the 11th conference of
the Parliamentarian intergroups held in Santander, at the seat of
the Parliament of the region of Cantabria (north of Spain).
They
reaffirmed their
disposition
to
"cooperate
with the
efforts"
of the Spanish
government
with a view to reach
"a
just and definitive solution"
to the
conflict,
underlining that this
solution
must be based on the
"international
legality",
which determine the
"question
of the Western
Sahara
as a decolonisation issue",
and stresses the
"Saharawi
people's inalienable right to freely decide over their future".
The Parliamentarian intergroups expressed their "categorical
rejection" of the
Moroccan
"plan of autonomy", since it is not "conform to the international
law". They said addressing "those who encouraged this proposition"
that the latter is a "new obstacle in the search of a just and
definitive solution to the conflict".
On another hand, they "deplored the ambiguous position "of the
Spanish government in the face of the disrespect by Morocco of
the international legality relative to human rights". They
considered this position as "incoherent" with its "responsibilities
regarding the Western Sahara and the sufferings of its people". (SPS)
