Lisbon (Portugal), September 26, 2025 (SPS) - The Portuguese Parliament rejected on Friday a proposal to recognize Morocco's alleged sovereignty over Western Sahara.
During a general session, the Portuguese Parliament rejected a proposal submitted by the Chega party, which called on the government to recognize Morocco's alleged sovereignty over Western Sahara.
