SANCHEZ AGAINST ALL

The Senate has endorsed the same position that Congress adopted when rejecting the decision of the president, Pedro Sánchez, to support the autonomous plan on Morocco's Western Sahara; a device that suppresses the right of the Saharawi people to pronounce on their future, which is also supported by the United Nations and various Security Council resolutions.

Sánchez has only achieved the support of his party. All the other parliamentary forces have rejected his decision to bow to Morocco's requirements, in exchange for Morocco recognizing the integrity of the territories and cooperating to disrupt, as far as possible, illegal immigration.

But it should not be forgotten that the Alawite Kingdom will never record in a document or an official declaration that Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish cities, so that Rabat's counterpart to the Spanish president is not what he would have wanted.

Sánchez has acted unilaterally in a kind of pernada right against the position of the two parliamentary chambers. For the first time, a president faces the entire political arc, with the exception of his own formation.

There is no excuse here. You cannot go against an overwhelming majority of those who represent the Spanish people. Moncloa, naturally, is trying to iron out the mess, but that a political leader breaks with the opinion of his compatriots is not a simple peccadillo; This is something very serious that cannot be left to a simple inventory detail.

Morocco's plan does not fit the position of the United Nations on this long conflict in the arenas. To say otherwise is ridiculous. Western Sahara is the last territory to be decolonized on the black continent, and the polisario cannot be asked to go through those gallows.

If it is stated that the idea is maintained that the solution to the conflict comes from a negotiation that satisfies the two contenders, it is more than evident that the Moroccan plan cannot be supported.
