Madrid, 13 November 2026 (SPS) –Prime Minister, member of the National Secretariat, Buchraya Hamoudi Bayoun, affirmed that humanitarian and political pressure would not deter the Sahrawi people from pursuing their legitimate right to freedom and independence.
Speaking at a press conference in Madrid on Friday, ahead of the 50th edition of the European Conference of Support and Solidarity with the Sahrawi People (EUCOCO), the Prime Minister blamed certain major powers of using humanitarian aid and political pressure to impose a settlement that undermines the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and independence.
He addressed the Security Council's failure to renew the mandate of MINURSO following Russia's veto of the US draft resolution, which, he said, sought to strip the Western Sahara issue of its political and legal nature as a decolonization question.
He further stressed that Morocco's refusal to organize a free and fair referendum exposed the contradictions in its position, affirming that the will of the Sahrawi people could neither be disregarded nor overridden.
He concluded that reducing humanitarian assistance and increasing political pressure would not compel the Sahrawi people to abandon their legitimate right to independence.
