The Saharawi minister of Social Services, Suelma Beiruckhas expressed that the rupture of the commercial relations of Algeria with Spain due to the turn in its policy in Western Sahara It is the first token to move against “a betrayal by the government of Pedro Sánchez.”

As he explained during his visit to Gran Canaria, Algeria has reacted after “having given many opportunities” to Madrid, to “make clear” what he has considered a “unfair posture» support for Morocco’s proposal to offer the occupied Saharawi occupied territories autonomous status within their country.

For the minister, Pedro Sánchez «continues in his intransigence», as he reiterated yesterday in his speech. In his opinion “this is not a betrayal of the Spanish people or of the politicians of Spain” but “a betrayal of Pedro Sánchez» that hides a «strategy» that although it is still unknown «is the reason for this decision and it will be known sooner rather than later».

There are “some pressure on Sánchez», who «is using the Saharawi people as a bargaining chip», he has expressed. Algeria, on the other hand, “is in favor of the struggle of a people,” and his decision is “a demonstration of solidarity and support.”

Pedro Sánchez, has said, «he is alone and isolated», because « he does not have the support of either the politicians or the people of Spain, nor does he have the support of many of the members of his own party.
