Morocco’s Federation of the Democratic Left has denied taking disciplinary action against MP Omar Mahmoud Benjelloun following controversial media statements that have caused tensions within the parliamentary Left Alliance.
Party Secretary-General Abdessalam Aziz told Hespress that no decision had been taken against Benjelloun or any other party member.
A source within the party’s political bureau also rejected reports that Benjelloun had been prohibited from making further public statements.
However, the party leadership has urged members to respect the federation’s principles and its political partners when speaking publicly.
The political bureau has tasked Aziz with coordinating communication among members and discouraging excessive media appearances that could undermine the party’s interests.
Benjelloun’s recent statements have drawn criticism within the Left Alliance, comprising the Federation of the Democratic Left and the Unified Socialist Party.
