Government opposition groups planned to vote today against the government program presented by Head of government Aziz Akhannouch on Monday in front of both houses of Parliament.
Head of the Progress and Socialism team in the House of Representatives, Rachid Hamouni told Hespress that his team opposes the government program for ignoring a number of important sectors, such as the tourism sector, which is suffering from the effects of the Corona pandemic.
“The program was absent from the numbers, and did not adhere to any timetable to achieve what was promised,” he said.
“It did not address how to deal with a number of burning issues, including the reform of the pension fund and contracting teachers.”
The same speaker questioned the government’s ability to create one million jobs, considering that 4 percent of the growth promised by Akhannouch would not be sufficient enough to employ a million people.
Abdullah Buano, head of the Parliamentary Group of the Justice and Development Party, also confirmed that this group will vote against the government program.
On Wednesday morning, the House of Representatives will hold a session to discuss the program presented by the Prime Minister, last Monday, and proceed to vote on it in the evening of the same day after the head of government gives his defense statement.
Although the internal system of the House of Representatives stipulates that “the general discussion of the draft government program takes place within a period of no less than three days, and no more than five days,” the parliamentary teams agreed to speed up the discussion procedure so that the government would be given time to prepare the finance bill and present it to Parliament.
