The party also recalled the historical responsibility of Spain towards the issue of Western Sahara "which must be positive with regard to the resolution of the conflict and not by taking decisions and initiating suspicious talks, contrary to international legality.
The political party also encourages Spain to "play its role correctly from the historical and political point of view, away from betrayal and exploitation of the Sahrawi cause in the bidding, extortion and bargaining, since the exploitation of this decolonization issue in this way will not succeed and will only be a moral scandal that history will remember.
