Solution to Sahara issue must be sought within the framework of the possible, Basque Party tells polisario
spokesperson of the Basque Nationalist Party at the Spanish Congress of Deputies Aitor Esteban underlined Wednesday that the solution to the Sahara issue must be sought within the framework of the possible.
The Polisario must understand “what is possible and what is impossible” to reach a solution to the Sahara issue, said Aitor Esteban during a debate at the Congress held in the presence of the head of the Spanish government Pedro Sanchez, and several members of the executive.
“The world has changed a lot in recent years. Thus, we must make the Polisario understand what is now possible and what is impossible” for the settlement of the Sahara issue, he insisted.
“From a geostrategic point of view, the Polisario has lost (…) so it must seek a solution within the framework of the possible” to settle this dispute, he said.
He also underscored the key role played by Morocco in the region, saying that “no one can deny the increasingly asserted geostrategic importance of Morocco, in the fight against terrorism and illegal immigration and other areas.”
The party’s spokesperson stressed the imperative to preserve a good relationship with Morocco that he described as “an important country” for Spain and the EU.
