It is in piety and meditation that the Moroccan people commemorate this Tuesday, Ramadan 10, the 63rd anniversary of the death of His Majesty King Mohammed V, Father of the Nation, craftsman of independence and symbol of the struggle of peoples for freedom and emancipation.

Spain's new position on the Moroccan Sahara issue is a "concrete step" towards strengthening peace and regional stability, writes the Mexican newspaper El Universal.

The Spanish government's position on the Moroccan Sahara, recognizing the pre-eminence of the autonomy plan as "the most serious, realistic and credible basis" for resolving this artificial dispute, has been welcomed by prominent Spanish personalities, politicians and high-level diplomats.

The autonomy plan, presented by Morocco to resolve the dispute over the Sahara, remains "the only truly realistic solution," said Jorge Dezcallar, former Spanish ambassador to Morocco and former director of the Spanish National Intelligence Center.
