Madrid (Spain), 14 November 2026 (SPS) – Parliamentary groups participating in the European Conference of Solidarity and Support for the Sahrawi People (EUCOCO) renewed their support for the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and independence.
During a parliamentary meeting in Madrid, representatives called on the international community to uphold international legitimacy and urged Morocco to comply with international law. They also condemned ongoing human rights violations in the occupied territories of Western Sahara and recalled Spain's historical responsibility towards the Sahrawi people.
The Algerian parliamentary delegation reaffirmed Algeria's steadfast support for the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and independence.
In its concluding statement, the meeting called on the United Nations to fulfil its responsibility to complete the decolonisation of Western Sahara and enable the Sahrawi people to exercise their inalienable right to self-determination and independence.
The statement also expressed concern over human rights violations and restrictions imposed by the Moroccan occupation authorities on parliamentarians, international observers, human rights organisations and journalists seeking access to the territory. It further urged the incoming Spanish government to play a leading role in defending international law and the rights of the Sahrawi people.
