Poland officially declares support for Moroccan autonomy plan

Poland has formally expressed its support for the Moroccan autonomy plan for Western Sahara, describing the plan as a “serious, realistic, and pragmatic basis for a lasting solution”, according to Morocco World News on October 21st.

The endorsement was made official following a telephone call between Polish and Moroccan Foreign Affairs Ministers, Radosław Sikorski and Nasser Bourita. Poland has joined the 23 EU countries and 120 nations that support the autonomy-under-sovereignty solution. 

Morocco’s autonomy plan (first presented to the United Nations in 2007) proposes that Western Sahara be granted broad self-governance while remaining under Moroccan sovereignty.
