Macron in the Crosshairs of the French Left After Kneeling to the Makhzen

There is a political and legal debate in France about the eligibility of the French caretaker government, which decided to support the autonomy plan presented by the Moroccan regime in 2007.
Political circles belonging to the “New National Front,” which won the recent legislative elections, said that President Emmanuel Macron lacked the political cover that would enable him to make such a sensitive decision, which destroyed relations with Algeria.

The political group of the “Greens” party in the French Senate condemned Paris’s support for the alleged sovereignty of the Moroccan regime over the occupied Sahrawi land, said in a statement that the heavy decision taken by one man (meaning Macron) at the head of a country that has neither a government nor a majority, seems more than, as ever, a major historical mistake and another failure on the international scene for the President of the Republic.

The statement emphasized respect for the rights of peoples to self-determination, as well as respect for international law. It also denounced this “personal” position of the French President, which contradicts the historical positions of France, international law, and the current agreements between Morocco and the Polisario Front, as stated in the statement, which warned of the dominance of economic interests at the expense of collective and individual law, stressing the strict implementation of the ceasefire agreements between the Sahrawi Arab Republic and the Moroccan regime.

The Secretary-General of the French Communist Party, Fabien Roussel, also attacked his country’s recent position on the Sahrawi issue and considered it a betrayal of France’s historic and balanced position on the rights of the Sahrawi people and United Nations regulations. This decision also opens the door wide to the continued plunder of the wealth of the African peoples, including the natural wealth of the Western Sahara people.

The LFI (France unbowed) MP of the “Proud France” party, Hadrien Clouet, attacked French President Emmanuel Macron, because of the position he expressed regarding the Sahrawi issue, and previously wrote in his Twitter (X) account: “While he lost the elections, Emmanuel Macron recognized the Morrocan regime’s alleged sovereignty on the occupied Sahrawi territories,” criticizing the lack of discussion on this issue, which has caused tension in relations with Algeria.

The largest absentee from the scene regarding this issue is the head of the LFI party, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who is known for his positions in support of the right of people to self-determination. So far, he has not made a statement or posted a tweet on his active account on the “X” platform. Still, some people familiar with the secrets of his relations confirm that his relations with the Moroccan theocratic regime inherited from the Middle Ages, due to his birth in the city of Tangier, are the reason for his suspicious silence.

In the same context, Western media reports linked the French president’s “kneeling” before the Moroccan regime to many issues, most notably the “Pegasus” case, through which Moroccan intelligence spied on the phone of Macron and many of his senior officials in both the Elysee Palace and the Matignon Palace (the government). Just as happened with the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, whose phone was hacked by Moroccan intelligence, based on the Zionist “Pegasus” software, and sensitive documents were stolen from him.

Observers likened the recently expressed French position on the Sahrawi issue to what happened in the United States of America in 2020 when the former American president tweeted support for the alleged Moroccan sovereignty over the occupied Sahrawi lands before losing the presidential elections to the current president, Joe Biden, and about a month before he left the White House.

The same is true for the French president, who signed this tense decision after losing the French legislative elections, in favour of the “New National Front,” which the French constitution authorizes to lead the new government, which means that Macron deliberately confuses Algerian-French relations, and provided a great service to the Moroccan regime before the left’s control over the reign of the executive branch.
