In this sense, M'Hamed Jad-dad also conveyed the condemnation of the Frente POLISARIO to the attitude of European leaders who have done everything possible to avoid judicial decisions, abuse their political and financial power in contravention of the law. Decision of December 21, 2016 of the European Court, which had already ruled that Morocco and Western Sahara are two distinct and separate regions and that any economic activity in the region without the consent of the Saharawi people is illegal.
The Saharawi official said that during the two years that elapsed between the sentence of December 21, 2016 and the new protocol of January 28, 2019, the Frente POLISARIO doubled the interventions recalling that this process was unacceptable because it violated their sovereign rights.
The Frente POLISARIO as the only and legitimate representative of the Saharawi people will continue the battle against the plundering of its wealth and against illegal agreements that harm the sovereignty and the rights of the Saharawi people.SPS
