During a presentation ceremony held at the municipal headquarters, Mr. Mohammed El Maamoun, the representative of the Polisario Front in Valencia, expressed his gratitude to the municipal council for their participation in organizing these activities.

On her part, Marta Tornado, a municipal council member and advisor, highlighted that the "Holidays in Peace" program, organized by local authorities in collaboration with both the Justice Association and the Polisario Front's representation in Valencia, serves as temporary family hosting.
