Spain reaffirms support for Morocco’s Western Sahara plan

The Spanish government has expressed its support for Morocco’s Autonomy Plan as a solution to the long-standing Western Sahara territorial dispute, according to the Moroccan government-friendly North Africa Post and agencies on December 7th.

Under the proposal, also known as Resolution 2797, the Western Sahara would be granted limited self-governance under Moroccan sovereignty. The plan was recognised as a “feasible solution” by the UN Security Council on a vote which took place on October 31st

Despite the Spanish government’s support for Moroccan sovereignty, the country’s political parties are not united in the endeavour, with the opposition Popular Party rejecting the proposal in November.
