The secretaries of the three government majoritary parties in Morocco signed a majority charter this Monday in Rabat.
Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch called the event “special,” saying that this pledge “constitutes a contract to implement the government program to its fullest,” while maintaining a strong alignment within the government majority.
During a press conference preceding the signing ceremony, Akhannouch said that “this is a new political experiment based on mutual respect between the components of the majority, the goal of which is to meet citizens’ expectations.”
The charter, not a goal in itself, is a means to raise the efficiency of government action, according to the official, saying that “the times of inefficiency and evading responsibility are over, and that this majority will not waste Moroccans’ time in sterile debates.”
Abdelatif Ouahbi, Secretary-General of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), said that the signing of the charter constitutes a political and historical moment.
Ouahbi, currently minister of Justice, said the majoritary pledge imposes on the coalition a need to demonstrate responsibility in face of serious challenges, while noting this need is more relevant than ever, considering the current government’s “acknowledged and recognised democratic electoral legitimacy.”
Secretary-General of the Independence Party Nizar Baraka said that the charter aims to confront all challenges the government and the country face as a whole, and streamline government work to prioritize efficiency.
With a grand goal of accelerating reforms across all sectors, the charter was signed in the presence of a number of ministers and officials, including Chakib Benmoussa, Minister of National Education, Rachid Talbi Elalamy, Speaker of Parliament, and Ministers Younes Skouri and Mohsen El-Jazouli Chiba Maa El-Ainin, head of the Istiqlal Party’s National Council.
