• Historical turn Pedro Sánchez folds before Morocco and hands over the Sahara 46 years later

  • Diplomatic turn.

    Yolanda Díaz and Podemos flatly reject the historical turn of the Government with the Sahara: "The only solution is the referendum"

The president in pectore of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has harshly attacked the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, whom he has accused of breaking with the consensus on foreign policy and acting with "frivolity" and "recklessness" by give a "swerve" with respect to the historical position defended by Spain for 47 years in relation to Western Sahara.

The new popular

leader

has considered "broken" the principle that foreign policy should be based "on consensus and parliamentary discussion" and has warned the government that "it cannot decide on such a drastic change unilaterally."

"These types of swerves", he stressed, "are reckless. I regret that the 40-year parliamentary agreement in this field has not survived

Sánchez

".

The PP, according to

Feijóo , "cannot accept learning about

Spain

's foreign policy

through a statement from the Government of

Morocco

."

He has assured that he will always be available to the Executive to discuss and agree on the foreign strategy, but setting loyalty and transparency as a precondition." In short, he has affirmed, "everything that does not exist at this time".

"Today there are more uncertainties than ever. We do not know what our economic future is going to be and to this is added an enormous frivolity regarding our geostrategic future. A country needs international prestige, to be predictable, that its allies know its steps. That nobody counts on me to publicly and unilaterally discuss my country's foreign policy. I will defend foreign policy in the right places and with the right consensus", he assured before more than a thousand people in

Valladolid

as part of the tour he is carrying out through all the Autonomous Communities to prepare the XX Extraordinary Congress of the PP in which he will be elected as the new leader of the party.

Núñez Feijóo

has assured that the

popular

will be "very attentive to the reactions of the United Nations and

Algeria

" because, he has warned, "the damages can be very high".

And in line with this reflection he has warned: "We will not admit any ambiguity regarding

Ceuta

and

Melilla

".

In this sense, he has demanded

Sánchez

"clarify what he has done, what he has agreed to and what he has committed to."

For those who will be the new leader of the opposition since the beginning of April, it is inconceivable "to live in the gibberish that this government is."

He claims to be willing to "return to respect for the Spaniards, consensus policies in foreign matters, the fundamental principles of Europe and the United Nations and an international credibility that", he stressed, "no one has the right to take ahead ".

FAES reaction

For its part, the FAES Foundation, chaired by the former Prime Minister, José María Aznar, has published an "editorial" in which it assures that Sánchez's spin on the Sahara "is evident and does not admit dissimulation."

"The government unambiguously aligns itself with the Moroccan position, accepts its claims and (...) attributes

sovereignty over the Sahara to

Morocco ."

"This reproduces," he notes, "the precedent of Donald Trump."

According to FAES, the Government "buries the UN resolutions and the organization's missions in the territory, disregards the responsibilities of our country as a colonizing power and renounces being an active part in the search for a solution, in addition to opening a foreseeable crisis with Algeria".

It is ultimately, he adds, "a political and diplomatic defeat of great proportions" that "rehabilitates the strategy of illegitimate pressure exerted by Rabat."
