Dear Christian Juhl,
Please find Invitation to a Conference on Western Sahara in Madrid, Spain:
40
th
, EUCOCO MADRID 13
th
, – 14
th
, November 2015
The European Coordination Conference for Solidarity with the Sahrawi People
(EUCOCO) has been there since 1975, every year in a different city: Paris,
Barcelona, Rome, Valencia, Brussels, Modena, and Vitoria-Gasteiz.
The EUCOCOs are undoubtedly the most important annual meeting of the
European Solidarity Movement with the Saharawi People. EUCOCO welcomes
people from the five continents.
Government representatives that recognize the SADR national and
international elective representatives and members of parliaments, regional
governments, town councils of Spain, political and syndicalism organizations,
associations of friends of the Saharawi people, NGOs in general, jurists,
personalities from the cultural world… All of them participate every year in
this mandatory MEETING on SOLIDARITY.
So does, at the highest level, the Saharawi people, represented by the
President of the SADR and Secretary-General of the Polisario Front and other
authorities of the Saharawi Government, as well as Human Rights activists
and Saharawi ambassadors and delegates in many countries.
Why in Madrid for a second consecutive time? The Conference is to coincide
with the 40
th
anniversary of the illegal Madrid Accords – by which the last
government of the Spanish dictatorship abandoned and betrayed the Sahrawi
People.
Forty years afterwards we believe and trust that the city of Madrid will be
remembered after the EUCOCO, after signing Treaties for the FREEDOM and
INDEPENDENCE of the Sahrawi People, standing up for the International
Law and the Human Rights, as well as writing the MADRID COUNTER-
DECLARATION and signing a Political and Social Agreement for the
Decolonization of Western Sahara. Therefore, these documents will reflect
that Spain has been historically, morally and politically indebted with the
Sahrawi people since 1975.
