In the wake of the call of many associations of the Moroccan community settling in Catalonia, in Spain, supported by some Spanish and Sahrawi associations set in the Catalan region, an important manifestation has taken place, last Saturday evening, in the famous Place of The Cathedral, a symbol of the Catalan capital, in order to bring an unconditional support to the Moroccan project of the Sahara’s local autonomy, in the presence of the presidents of associations representing the Spanish, European and Maghreb civil society.
This manifestation supporting the Sahara region’s autonomy project, under Morocco’s sovereignty and national unity, organized under the rallying slogan of “Yes to the Autonomy status to the Moroccan Sahara”, comes in line with the thirty forth anniversary of the Green March commemoration, which has been distinguished by a strong and striking speech of the King Mohammed VI calling to Moroccans’ mobilization for the success of the broad autonomy project of the Southern provinces, a project involved in a large-scale context, that of the advanced regionalization, with new roles and new responsibilities within the good governance and within a good democracy mindful of equilibrium, equality and equity among its different components.  

Hundreds of Moroccans have participated in this manifestation, coming from the whole regions of Spain, as well as Sahrawis of the Southern provinces of Morocco who have displayed their Moroccanity and proudly rose the Moroccan flag and its banners, calling to the end of the artificial conflict of the Sahara, knowingly maintained by the Polisario and its backers of the Maghreb region.
