Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch held a meeting on Monday evening with the House of Representatives, as well as the House of Councillors’ members, following the opening of spring legislative session on Friday, according to reliable Hespress AR sources.

During the meeting, Akhannouch pointed out that the current difficult situation, specifically rising food and fuel prices, “will not prevent the Moroccan government from assuming its responsibility, and carrying out its electoral program, for which Moroccans had voted.”

“The government will continue to intervene whenever it becomes clear that one of Morocco’s major sectors has been affected, within the financial resources made available to us,” said Akhannouch during the meeting.

The meeting comes after opposition parties expressed dissatisfaction with the Moroccan government’s attitude and lack of action in the face of a growing economic crisis.

The legislative actors have called on the government to make “more serious” efforts in dealing “positively” with draft laws representatives and councils bring to the Parliament’s floor.

During the meeting, representatives and councilors further emphasized the importance of activating the constitutional roles of the parliament, which include “advocating citizens’ issues and positively contributing to laws’ legislation.”

A number of bills covering various sectors are set to be approved during the spring legislative session for 2021-2022, including the Unified Agricultural Register and a draft copyright law.

The spring session began on April 8 and will last 3 months.
