The Polisario last week gave another proof of its totally flawed perception. Faithful to its tactics to proclaim imaginary diplomatic victories in the Sahara issue, declared to great trumpeting and chest beating that a “Western Sahara inter-group” was set up at the European Parliament. The news was of course relayed by the Algerian news agency and pro-Polisario media as “a victory” while it was just a fake news. The intergroup, presented by the Polisario and its mentors as a pathway to reconquer the European Parliament, actually has no legal or institutional basis, nor political legitimacy. The European legislative institution explained that an intergroup is not an organ of the European Parliament and cannot speak on its behalf.
