Sensing that political winds in Spain may be shifting in favor of a broad right-wing bloc, Polisario leader Brahim Ghali appears to be making overtures to the People's Party (PP) and Vox. In remarks to a conservative Spanish media outlet, Ghali warned of what he described as the threat posed by «Moroccan expansionism» to Spain's continued sovereignty over Ceuta and Melilla.
The Polisario Front hopes to use Colombia's rotating presidency of the UN Security Council to persuade the 15-member body to condemn what it describes as the «killing of Sahrawi civilians by Morocco». The move recalls August 2016, when Venezuela, then a non-permanent member of the Security Council, championed the Front's position during the first El Guerguerat crisis.
