Minister Delegate for the Interior Noureddine Boutayeb said, on Monday in Rabat, that no political body has undertaken public charitable activities on a partisan basis.
In response to an oral question on “the political use of the charitable solidarity process”, Boutayeb said that according to the available data, no party or political body has undertaken any partisan public charitable activities, including the distribution of baskets.
These initiatives are carried out by civil society associations from different backgrounds or by people who distribute social assistance on different occasions, he added.
Boutayeb also noted that public charitable operations are subject to the requirements of Law No. 4.71 of 12 October 1971 relating to calls for public generosity, stressing that this issue requires the application of clear legal procedures.
All forms of charitable work are supervised and organized by local authorities, with the aim of ensuring that these initiatives achieve their noble objectives in order to enshrine the culture of solidarity and integration in society and make sure that they are not used for political ends, he said.
Public charitable operations will be subject in the future to a new legal framework which includes provisions aimed at consolidating the culture of solidarity and synergy between the components of the Moroccan people and protecting their centuries-old customs in this area, as well as ensuring the noble objectives of social solidarity operations far from any exploitation of any kind, noted Boutayeb.
