Senator Joan Josep Nuet Pujals, a senator from Catalonia, belonging to the Catalan Parliamentary Group Progrés Entesa presented last May 20 table a question to the Senate, in relation to travel PSOE deputy John Alley Baena in the occupied territories of Western Sahara .
This deputy, was "the first representative of national sovereignty that has traveled to Western Sahara since Spain withdrew from the territory 34 years ago, in the words of Senator Nuet. In Laayoune, the capital of the former colony, gave his support to the Moroccan offer of autonomy for the territory that the Polisario Front rejected because it aims to achieve independence. Nuet senator's question referred to this trip, and has had access Poems by Sahara Libre, has been written in the following terms. "What it means for the government to visit the Sahara occupied by Morocco of English Member of the English Socialist Party (PSOE) John Alley Baena, being the first representative of national sovereignty that has traveled to Western Sahara since Spain withdrew from the territory for 34 years and being widely used by the government of Morocco to legitimize its claims on the Sahara annexation? "
" The senior executive and English diplomats accredited in Rabat are prohibited from moving to the Sahara to avoid giving the impression to recognize Moroccan sovereignty over the territory. When, in March 2005, the government delegate in the Canary Islands, Jose Segura, traveled to Laayoune on the occasion of the inauguration of a flight Binter, the then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Bernardino Leon, was forced to explain in the Senate that it was a private trip. Their presence in Laayoune was, however, highlighted by the Moroccan press, "says Nuet.
As Senator Nuet remember, the Socialist deputy Alley first moved to Rabat, leading a delegation of Socialist Almeria and responsible for the Chamber of Commerce and local industry, "invited by a pro-Moroccan Saharawi Association of Seville. " In Rabat met Hajji Ahmed, director of the Agency for Promotion and Economic and Social Development of the Southern Provinces, "in which English cooperation has no relations because it operates exclusively in the Sahara", as he recalled the Senator. In Rabat, the Socialist deputy told reporters that his assessment of the Moroccan autonomy proposal "is positive".
already in Laayoune, Alley gave a new boost to the Moroccan position: "Based on the autonomy plan proposed by Morocco is possible to reach a solution. "He further highlighted the" climate of security and stability prevailing in the region and progress. "Remember that Rabat finalized its offer of autonomy in April 2007 and referred to the Security Council of the UN, but the proposal is rejected by the Polisario Front, which seeks to hold the referendum self-determination. On the other hand, Nuet recalls that after the start of the riots in the occupied cities of the Sahara in May 2005, "several delegations of English parliamentarians and councilors, including some socialists, they tried to land in Laayoune, but were repulsed. In June of that year the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Miguel Angel Moratinos, announced that a representation of the Courts would be authorized to travel the former colony, but never got permission. "
Moreover Nuet Senator made two questions to the table of the Senate, one referring to the initiatives that the government of Spain has planned to develop "to the allegations made by the European Parliament's report in January, according to which, the are violated by the Kingdom of Morocco in Western Sahara, the most fundamental human rights "and in another Nuet Josep Joan asked," what you plan to develop policy initiatives the Government of Spain to secure full self-determination for the Saharawi people in the context of United Nations resolutions seeking complete decolonization pending land.
