The Political Bureau of the Party of Progress and Socialism expressed, on Friday, its "deep joy and great pride" in the resolution issued by the United Nations Security Council, which supports the settlement of the Moroccan Sahara dispute within the framework of the autonomy initiative.
The Political Bureau of "The Book" said in a statement that the UN Security Council resolution "confirmed that the proposal for autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty constitutes the most applicable solution as the sole basis for resolving the fabricated dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, a victory for justice and the facts of history, legitimacy, and legality."
It added that it followed with "deep interest and great pride, the Royal Speech on this happy occasion and the decisive turning point in the modern history of Morocco, where His Majesty the King insisted on sharing, with a tone of wisdom and calm strength, this historic achievement with the Moroccan people, after fifty years of struggle, struggle, and great sacrifices for our just and legitimate national cause."
The "Book" party affirmed that "these decisive developments actually constitute a radical transformation and a fateful turning point in the long path of the Moroccan people's struggles to complete and consolidate its territorial integrity, sacrificing for that, over the decades, the precious and precious, and confronting, with confidence, patriotism and steadfastness, all difficulties, maneuvers and setbacks."
He explained that "this occasion, which brings joy and pride, will be written in history with the ink of pride and glory, and we are on the verge of the national celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Green March, which was created and launched, with courage and success, by the late His Majesty King Hassan II, may God have mercy on him, and resulted in the recovery of our southern Saharan regions, completing the liberation and independence march led by the late King Mohammed V, may God have mercy on him."
The Party of Progress and Socialism extended "sincere and warm congratulations to His Majesty King Mohammed VI, for the pioneering and pioneering role he has played, with determination and insistence, in leading national diplomacy, since he ascended the throne, which has led to fundamental transformations in addressing the fabricated dispute over our Moroccan Sahara, since the presentation, in 2007, of the autonomy initiative in the context of Moroccan sovereignty, which changed the balance in favor of our country, and made it hold the reins of initiative and action at the international level."
He considered that this matter "was confirmed and consolidated by reaping victories, especially with the momentum of weighty and wide recognition of the Moroccan identity of the Sahara and the validity and credibility of the autonomy proposal," extending "warm congratulations and high greetings to all the Moroccan people, with its living forces, who have made all the sacrifices for this victory."
The party also extended the same congratulations and greetings to "all the commendable contributions, initiatives and efforts, whether within the framework of official diplomacy; or within the framework of parallel diplomacy, parliamentary, partisan, civil, and others, with a special greeting to Moroccans of the world who have always been keen to raise the banner of the nation and defend its fundamental issues."
It also expressed the Party of Progress and Socialism "its gratitude and recognition" to all the "pure souls of all the martyrs of the nation, military and civilian, whose memories will remain immortal in the conscience of the Moroccan people and in the memory of the nation, throughout the ages," extending greetings to "all the security and military forces, in all their formations, from armed forces, national security, Royal Gendarmerie, auxiliary forces, and civil protection, for their permanent mobilization, under the leadership of His Majesty the King, to defend the country's territory, its stability, sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity."
At this crucial pivotal moment, the Party of Progress and Socialism considered that "Morocco has clearly succeeded in opening a new page, a page for building the future of the Moroccan Sahara within the framework of autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty," stressing that it is "a new historical stage that requires continued keenness to strengthen the internal front at all levels, democratic, economic and social, and relying on the approach of reform and construction, in order to overcome the challenges of this stage, and activate this solution on the ground."
The party affirmed its deep determination to "contribute constructively, alongside all living national forces, in developing autonomy on the ground, and in making a success of the process of embracing our sisters and brothers currently in the Tindouf camps; and about its hope that this important development will contribute to opening a new page for relations between Morocco and Algeria, in a way that pushes towards the establishment of a unified, prosperous and strong Maghreb space."
