Saharawis and representatives of groups of the movement in solidarity with Western Sahara have demonstrated this Saturday in the center of Madrid under the slogan 'No to the tripartite agreements of Madrid' and in favor of "human rights and the end of colonialism." The protesters demanded that the Spanish government of PSOE and United We Can "act forcefully and pay off the historical debt that Spain has with the Saharawi people." On the banners that they carried at the head of the march that passed through Gran Vía to Puerta del Sol, it could be read 'Stop violation of human rights. Occidental Sahara". In addition, at the Puerta del Sol, spokesmen for Saharawi groups asked the Spanish government to "assume the historical, legal, moral and legitimate responsibility with the Saharawi people." "Our people are at war, our people are being mistreated and we come to say enough of silence, of complicity to demand that the Government comply with the Saharawi people and initiate the decolonization of the Sahara," explained a spokesman to the protesters. Likewise, they have recalled the unity of the Saharawi movement with demonstrations in other cities of the world such as Berlin and Mexico: "We do not have to talk much to explain that we want the freedom of the Saharawi people without further excuses and it is the first time that the solidarity movement has joined to carry out an activity of these characteristics together with entities that are not of the nature of the Saharui people. " Among the attendees were also leaders of the PCE, Izquierda Unida and unions such as Comisiones Obreras.
