Opposition parties criticised the government, with the accusing President of submission to Rabat. ERC claimed the PSOE betrayed the Sahrawis, while Junts questioned if the 2022 policy shift was influenced by Pegasus spyware information.
The PNV and EH Bildu urged a return to Spain's historical position, calling the 2022 turn radical. While Sumar called for unanimous approval, Vox raised concerns over document controls, and Sahrawi deputy Tesh Sidi participated in the restitution debate.
