The Moroccan political landscape has shown unity in support of the King's positions on Western Sahara. The National Rally of Independents (RNI) held an extraordinary meeting of its Political Bureau following the UN Security Council meeting on October 30, 2026. The party expressed its support for the King's stance on Western Sahara, as outlined in a statement from the Royal Palace. The RNI emphasized its commitment to national mobilization in support of the King's efforts to defend Morocco's territorial integrity.
The RNI's Political Bureau praised the progress made in the national cause, thanks to the King's foresightful diplomacy. This diplomacy has enabled Morocco to shift from managing a conflict to a phase of profound transformation and consolidation of gains. The party also commended the positions of friendly countries that have supported Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces. The RNI's statement reflects a broader consensus among Moroccan political parties on the importance of national unity and territorial integrity.
Other Moroccan parties have also expressed their support for the King's positions on Western Sahara. The Party of Progress and Socialism (PPS) announced its full support for the decisions and orientations outlined in the Royal Palace statement. The PPS emphasized its commitment to defending Morocco's national interests and sovereignty. Similarly, the Socialist Union of Popular Forces (USFP) declared its full engagement behind the King in defending Morocco's territorial integrity and national sovereignty.
The Moroccan Parliament has also taken steps to address the recent developments in Western Sahara. The Parliament's two chambers will hold a joint session on November 2, 2026, to discuss the latest developments in the national cause. This session aims to mobilize the Parliament's members in support of the King's efforts to defend Morocco's territorial integrity. The session will provide an opportunity for parliamentarians to discuss the implications of the UN Security Council meeting and the Royal Palace statement.
The national mobilization in support of the King's positions on Western Sahara reflects a broad consensus among Moroccan political parties and institutions. This consensus underscores the importance of national unity and solidarity in defending Morocco's territorial integrity and sovereignty. The King's leadership and diplomacy have been instrumental in promoting this national consensus and mobilizing support for Morocco's national cause.
The recent developments in Western Sahara have also sparked reactions from various political parties and stakeholders. The PPS called for the file to be withdrawn from the UN Security Council's agenda, emphasizing the need for a definitive resolution to the conflict. The USFP and RNI have also reiterated their commitment to defending Morocco's national interests and sovereignty.
The national cause of Western Sahara remains a top priority for Moroccan political parties and institutions.
