Blinken: Autonomy Proposal, One Potential Approach to Satisfy the Aspirations of Sahraoui People

Three consecutive devastating blows were received by the Moroccan regime in just two days, which will destroy all the dreams it has built and leave repercussions on its fragile stability, at a time when the Moroccan people are preparing to descend in force on Moroccan cities to protest the collusion of the palace with the Zionist entity in the war of extermination that the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples have been subjected to for nearly a year.

The first blow was embodied by the European Court of Justice, which ruled the fishing agreement between the Moroccan regime and the European Union invalid, after about four years of debate in European courts, during which the Sahrawi Arab Republic succeeded in dealing a resounding slap to Rabat, thereby stopping the plundering of the resources of the Sahrawi people in collusion with the member states of the European Union.

This slap came to stop the Moroccan regime and its media at home and abroad from repeating the record of imaginary victories. In return, it destroys all the decisions taken by France and Spain, regarding the conflict over Western Sahara, between the Alawite regime in Rabat and the Sahrawi Arab Republic, as the decision of the European Court of Justice confirmed beyond doubt that what was issued by the French President Emmanuel Macron and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has nothing to do with political ethics, credibility or anything else but arrogance.

The European Court’s decision is binding on the political decision. It prevents it from concluding any agreements, regardless of their nature, if they are based on the plundering of the wealth of the Sahrawi people, which the European governments anticipated by deciding not to renew the fishing agreement that expired in July 2023, as these governments are certain that the European judicial decision will be decisive and final regarding the invalidity of those agreements, which were a legalized plunder of the resources of the Sahrawi people subject to the brutal Moroccan occupation.

The second blow was the statement of the US Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Antony Blinken, in the presence of the Foreign Minister of Rabat in New York City, who reiterated Washington’s non-recognition of the alleged sovereignty of the Moroccan regime over the occupied Sahrawi territories when he said that the autonomy plan presented by the Moroccan regime in Western Sahara is only “one potential approach to satisfy the aspirations of the people of Western Sahara.”

The statement following the meeting, which is available on the U.S. Department of State’s website, read: “The Secretary (Blinken) affirmed full U.S. support for UN Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General Staffan de Mistura and his efforts to advance negotiations leading to an enduring and dignified political solution for Western Sahara (not Moroccan) without further delay. He reiterated that the United States continues to view Morocco’s Autonomy Proposal as serious, credible, realistic, and one potential approach to satisfy the aspirations of the people of Western Sahara”.

The third blow was the loss of the Moroccan regime in a very sensitive case at the level of French justice, related to the spyware scandal in which Moroccan intelligence was involved in hacking the phones of many officials in France, Spain, Belgium and the European Parliament, using the Zionist pegasus technology.

Rabat suffered a loss in the case it filed against the independent French newspaper “Mediapart”, after the newspaper confirmed that the Moroccan regime was involved in spying on the phones of French officials, most notably Emmanuel Macron, and also confirmed that the spying even extended to the newspaper.

The journalist and founder of the newspaper, Edwy Plenel, tweeted: “Implicated in the Pegasus affair, the Kingdom of Morocco, which had filed a defamation complaint against Mediapart for having claimed that it (Rabat) had spied on our newspaper, was definitively dismissed and (Morocco) was ordered to pay us (Mediapart) legal costs.

The Moroccan regime will have to take a long time to recover from these shocks that did not come alone, as the popular Arab proverb goes. What is interesting is that they came on the first anniversary of the barbaric and brutal Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and all of Palestine, and with the beginning of the aggression against the Lebanese people. Perhaps it is the curse of collusion with the Zionist entity in the extermination of the Palestinian people.
