Algiers, 20 Mar The Council of the Nation (Senate) in Algeria on Sunday denounced Spain's change of position on the “just cause” of Western Sahara, calling the alignment of the president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, “doubtful” with the Moroccan theses of proposing a regime of autonomy for the former colony spanish. “The Bureau of the Council of the Nation, chaired by Salah Goudjil, wishes to express its astonishment at the surprising deviation in Spain's position towards the just Sahrawi cause and the dubious support it has shown for a process of colonization contrary to the legality of international relations,” the Senate said in a statement by press. For the upper house of the Algerian Parliament, this turn constitutes “a drift and taking an unacceptable part against a cause considered by the United Nations as the last colony in Africa, recognizing the right of the Saharawi peoples to self-determination” “The derivation of the position of the Spanish government and its alignment with the theses of the Majzen (administrative apparatus of the Kingdom of Morocco), is out of step with the reality on the ground, as well as with the customs and notions of international community law that rejects all forms of colonialism and domination,” the Senate noted. Also, the National Liberation Front Party (FLN), which has ruled in Algeria since the independence of France in 1962, criticized the Spanish Government and urged it to revise its new “strange” position, considering Madrid's new stance, EFE, “a historical betrayal” of the Sahari people no/amg.
