Catalonia (Spain), 10 November 2026 (SPS) – The Catalan Unified Socialist Party (PSUC) has reaffirmed its firm and principled support for the Sahrawi people's legitimate struggle for decolonisation and independence.
The reaffirmation came at the conclusion of the party's 18th Congress, attended by several delegations, including the Polisario Front Representative in Catalonia, Mohamed Salem Ahmed Labied, Cuban Consul Alejandro Castro, and Spanish Communist Party Secretary-General Enrique Santiago.
Addressing the closing session, the Sahrawi representative briefed participants on the latest developments in the Sahrawi cause, highlighting the critical circumstances facing the Sahrawi people's struggle after 51 years of obstacles to the exercise of their right to self-determination and the implementation of international law in Western Sahara.
He called for stronger international solidarity and unity in confronting the current international situation, increasingly characterised by the rule of force rather than respect for international law.
The Congress adopted resolutions expressing solidarity with the Sahrawi, Palestinian and Cuban peoples. In his closing remarks, the party's Secretary-General reiterated its unwavering commitment to supporting the Sahrawi people's struggle for decolonisation and independence, describing Western Sahara as Africa's last colony.
