publico.es.- The Second Vice-President of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, explains why she did not attend the bilateral summit between Spain and Morocco at the beginning of February.
The Second Vice-President of the Government and Minister of Labour and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz, has once again expressed her disagreement with Pedro Sánchez’s unilateral turnaround on Western Sahara, this time in the Congress of Deputies. Díaz was asked this Wednesday in the government control session about her refusal to participate in the bilateral summit between Spain and Morocco held in early February in Rabat.
Vox deputy Inés Cañizares asked her about her absence at this meeting and accused her of positioning herself “on the same side as the King of Morocco”, who was not present either, although he did have a telephone conversation with Pedro Sánchez.
Díaz referred to Western Sahara in response to the parliamentary question and, as Público reported, linked her absence in Rabat to her disagreement with Sánchez on this issue.
“It seems to me that my position on the Sahara and Morocco is well known, and we would like, yes, within the framework of the United Nations and respecting human rights, to seek a fair solution. I believe that this is what thousands of Spanish families who take in Sahrawi children every summer, look after them and watch over their rights want”, she said.
