The Polisario Front has responded to the Throne Day speech delivered by King Mohammed VI on Tuesday, June 29. In a statement, the movement said that «any consensual solution, one that allows all parties to save face, with no winners or losers, must be democratic, grounded in international law, and acknowledge the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and independence, without recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara». «If Morocco is sincere and acting in good faith, we are ready to engage in direct, serious, and credible negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations, without preconditions or imposed terms, aimed at reaching a just and mutually acceptable solution», the statement added. «This solution must respect international legal standards and recognize the Western Sahara conflict as a decolonization issue». In his address, King Mohammed VI called for an «open dialogue» with Algeria to turn a new page in relations between the two countries. He also noted that growing international support for Morocco's position on Western Sahara «encourages us to pursue a consensual solution that preserves the dignity of all parties, without winners or losers».
