Government Spokesperson, Mustafa Baitas dismissed claims that the government is using data from social program beneficiaries for electoral purposes, calling it “irrelevant.”

In his weekly press briefing, Baitas emphasized that the government operates in full compliance with laws, particularly those safeguarding personal data. He stressed that such matters are handled by institutions, and their actions are grounded in rationality, not political manipulation. He added, “Criticism should focus on what deserves it and contribute to improving ongoing initiatives in the kingdom.”

The Justice and Development Party had previously raised concerns about the potential electoral exploitation of citizen data from various public agencies, including the National Social Support Agency, the High Atlas Agency, and programs supporting housing and farmers.
