Spain’s deputies question the agreements with Morocco

In particular, they refer to the use of the airspace of Western Sahara, ignoring the right of the Sahrawi people to independence, self-determination and sovereignty.

The parliamentary spokesman for Izquierda Uneda, Enrique Santiago, and José Luis Bueno, the Andalusian deputy of the same line-up in the United Left group, are the authors of the idea that asks for the control and use of the airspace of Western Sahara, which was discussed between Madrid and Rabat.

Santiago, who is also Secretary General of the Communist Party of Spain, and Bueno, they suggested that Spain’s top foreign affairs chiefs respond in writing if they deem these open negotiations with Morocco “supported by international law and UN resolutions related to the process of decolonizing Western Sahara”.

It also raises the question of whether the government plans to consult the House of Representatives on this issue?

“The ultimate goal of these negotiations appears to be the handover of air control over Western Sahara to Morocco,” they added. For Izquierda Yoneda, this meant a “new popular support” for Sanchez (Pedro, the head of government).

The approval of “the illegal occupation practiced by Morocco of Western Sahara since 1975, contradicts the resolutions and statements of the United Nations in favor of a negotiated solution within the framework of the freedom of self-determination of the Saharawi people, and means a new violation.” of the international obligations of Spain as the administering power of this territory.

At the same time, Santiago and Bueno asked the executive if it “plans to include in these negotiations” official representatives of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR).
