Morocco’s parliamentary majority has dismissed the opposition’s motion of censure against Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch’s government as a disjointed initiative with little chance of success, according to parliamentary leaders.
Ahmed Touizi, president of the Authenticity and Modernity group in the House of Representatives, said opposition parties should not expect support from majority lawmakers, arguing the move reflects internal divisions.
“If the opposition fails to gather the necessary signatures for the motion, it will expose a lack of coordination among its factions,” Touizi told Hespress AR.
Mohamed Chaouki, president of the National Rally of Independents group, echoed the sentiment, saying the effort underscores that “the opposition is bound only by short-term agendas, not a shared strategic vision.”
While acknowledging the right to political expression, Chaouki added, “We hope the initiative fosters genuine political debate, even if we do not support the grievances raised against the government.”
Allal Amraoui, head of the Istiqlal for Unity and Egalitarianism group, emphasized that the majority bloc cannot endorse any move aimed at toppling the government.
“These are well-established political norms,” Amraoui said. “Violating them would strip such practices of their democratic value.”
The censure motion, if pursued, would require the backing of at least one-third of lawmakers in the 395-seat lower house to advance.
