La Suède se joint à la plus grande majorité des pays membres de l'Union Européenne et à plus des deux tiers des Etats membres de l'ONU soutenant le plan marocain d'autonomie.

La Suède "soutient le plan d'autonomie proposé par le Maroc, à la lumière de la résolution 2797 du Conseil de sécurité", comme "base crédible" pour des négociations en vue de parvenir à une solution définitive au différend régional autour du Sahara marocain.

Publicité
Cette position a été exprimée dans un communiqué officiel publié par le ministère des Affaires étrangères de Suède, à l'issue de l'entretien téléphonique tenu, ce lundi, entre la ministre suédoise des Affaires étrangères, Maria Malmer Stenengard, et le ministre des Affaires étrangères, de la Coopération africaine et des Marocains résidant à l'étranger, Nasser Bourita.

Par cet appui explicite, la Suède se joint à la plus grande majorité des pays membres de l'Union Européenne et à plus des deux tiers des Etats membres de l'ONU soutenant le plan marocain d'autonomie.

Pour rappel, la résolution 2797 du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU, adoptée le 31 octobre 2025, affirme qu'une véritable autonomie sous souveraineté marocaine est la solution des plus réalisables à ce différend régional.

How lack of legitimacy leads to policy failure: public resistance to water charges in Ireland Open Access

An attempt to reintroduce a water charge in Ireland failed 18 months after its implementation in 2015. Election results were decisive in the abolition of previously implemented water charges by voting for anti-water charge parties. We conducted a systematic archive study to analyse how a lack of legitimacy and subsequent public resistance were embedded in a history of organised public demonstrations and boycotts. We show how a historic lack of legitimacy has exacerbated failures in policy programme, process, and activities. We argue that this historic context may also explain why the water charges stood out as the most contested policy in a period when many austerity measures were taken. This case serves as an example of policy failure resulting from a lack of legitimacy and a subsequent policy resistance. It serves as a warning that if public resistance can be expected, a policy without broad political support and a clear contingency strategy to mitigate public resistance is likely to fail. In particular, when there is a historic lack of legitimacy, greater effort is required to avoid policy failure and achieve successful implementation.
