Spanish MP Claims Polisario Front Killed 289 Spaniards, Labels Group Terrorists

Miguel Ángel Gutiérrez, 58, a member of the Ciudadanos party, a deputy for Madrid in the Congress and secretary general of his party’s parliamentary group, claims that the Polisario is a terrorist organization that has assassinated hundreds of Spanish citizens.
"Some may hide behind fine words, such as the rights of the Sahrawi people, and good intentions, but defending an organization like the Polisario, which is equivalent to defending ETA (Basque separatist terrorist organization), is something that this chamber should in no way tolerate. Make no mistake: the Polisario is a terrorist group. They have assassinated 289 Spanish citizens," said the Spanish MP.
According to the explanations of the one who has been director of public and private institutions several times in Spain, the Spanish citizens killed are the Canarian sailors whose fishing boats were targeted by the Polisario militiamen during the 1970s and 1980s in the area between the Sahara and the Canary Islands. These statements are corroborated by the Canarian Association of Victims of Terrorism (Acavite), which has made the defense of Spanish citizens assassinated by the independence movement its battle horse.
