The Authenticity and Modernity Party's political bureau has praised the contents of a royal decree issued by King Mohammed VI regarding the latest developments in the Western Sahara issue within the UN Security Council. The party considers the decree to reflect the king's wisdom in managing this file and consolidating Morocco's diplomatic efforts to defend its territorial integrity.
The party expressed its congratulations to the king and the Moroccan people on the occasion of the National Unity Day, which carries national symbolism and new implications in managing the Western Sahara conflict. The party also praised the decree's implications and the significant place of Morocco's autonomy initiative under Moroccan sovereignty as the only political choice to settle this conflict.
The party's political bureau, which met in an extraordinary session on October 31, 2026, in Rabat, under the leadership of the collective leadership of the general secretariat, emphasized its commitment to the autonomy initiative. This initiative has gained significant international support, particularly after the adoption of UN Resolution 2797, which marked a significant development in Morocco's diplomatic efforts.
The party also noted that the non-renewal of the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara's mandate should lead to the termination of its tasks on the ground. This would be a significant step towards the final resolution of the Western Sahara issue and the closure of a phase that no longer matches the developments in the issue.
The Authenticity and Modernity Party reiterated its commitment to engaging all its structures in the unified national front behind the king. The party announced its intention to contribute to renewing the debate on the Western Sahara issue and continuing to engage in programs and initiatives aimed at promoting development in the southern regions.
The party's political bureau called on all living forces to be vigilant in following up on the developments in the issue within international forums. The party emphasized that these developments will not change Morocco's fixed national position, which is represented in the slogan "Morocco in its Sahara, and the Sahara in Morocco, until God inherits the earth and those on it."
The party's statement concluded by emphasizing its continued support for the king's efforts to defend Morocco's territorial integrity and its commitment to contributing to the development of the southern regions. The party's stance on the Western Sahara issue remains consistent with its principles and its vision for a just and lasting solution.
