Tuesday, Portugal’s Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs and Communities debated a draft law put forward by the right-wing party Chega, now the country’s second-largest political force. The proposal calls for recognizing Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara and cutting ties with the Polisario Front, a move that sparked sharp disagreements among parliamentary blocs.
Morocco’s strategy for the economic development of the Sahara is drawing the attention of global powers, according to an American media outlet that has examined this political approach in detail.
