Submitted on

Algiers, 10 April 2022 (SPS) - The Polisario Front has decided to suspend its contacts with the current Spanish Government, following the position of Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on the issue of Western Sahara.
“The Polisario Front has decided to suspend its contacts with the current Spanish Government until it dissociates from the instrumentalization of the Sahrawi issue within the framework of appalling bargaining with the occupier, and until it conforms to the decisions of the international legality which recognizes the Sahrawi people’s right to self-determination and respect of its internationally recognized borders,” the Polisario Front said in a statement.
The Polisario Front said that it took its decision following “the announcement of Sanchez Government’s support to the plan of the Moroccan occupier which aims to annex, by force, the territories of Western Sahara and to seize the inalienable rights of the Sahrawi people to self-determination and independence” and following “the concrete moves taken by the Government of Pedro Sanchez in this regard.”
