“The United Nations Security Council has just recognized, by a very large majority, the autonomy plan for Western Sahara championed by Morocco for many long years.
It will therefore be implemented under Moroccan authority and sovereignty.

I extend my warmest congratulations to King Mohamed VI, as well as to the entire Moroccan diplomacy, for this brilliant success.”

French Political Context: Strong Support from the National Right

This statement follows the resolution’s adoption without a veto, with only abstentions from Russia and Mozambique, further reinforcing international recognition of the autonomy plan as the “sole basis for negotiations.” As leader of the National Rally, a prominent force in the French Parliament, Le Pen’s congratulations reflect broad cross-spectrum French political support for the Moroccan position, especially after France’s official recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara in July 2024. Her words on “implementation under Moroccan sovereignty” are seen as an explicit affirmation of the conflict’s end and a strengthening of the strategic partnership in security, migration, and economic domains.

Diplomatic and Regional Implications

This endorsement from Le Pen, an influential figure in European politics, provides a significant moral boost to Moroccan diplomacy, particularly in the context of the 50th anniversary of the Green March. It is expected to encourage increased French investments in the southern provinces and bolster European consensus around the Moroccan solution. The statement also highlights His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s role as the architect of this “brilliant success,” reflecting international appreciation for Royal wisdom in managing the file.

This declaration embodies the global shift toward supporting Moroccan sovereignty, paving the way for the actual implementation phase of the autonomy plan.
