Government Spokesperson Mustapha Baitas said that the government is harmonious and operates with common agreement, in response to recent rumors of a possible government reshuffle.
Baitas stressed, during a press conference subsequent to the weekly government council today, that evidence of the government’s harmony is its ratification of several decrees.
The same official added: “Frankly and clearly, the government, in light of the difficult economic and social context, is only concerned with how to implement its government program and be in the good faith of the King and Moroccans.”
The government spokesperson stressed that the executive, led by Akhannouch, “works with a collective spirit,” adding that any government amendments would be related to political and constitutional procedures.
The official also announced the government will hold a meeting with unions next week as part of the second round of social dialogue.
During the first round of social dialogue, held on 24 and 25 February 2022, the government and unions agreed to institutionalize the methodology of dialogue and ensure all guarantees of its
success.
The government spokesman additionally responded to uproar over the high prices of school supplies and textbooks.
In response to journalists’ questions, the government’s official spokesman confirmed that the government has allocated a subsidy of MAD 105 million for school books only.
Baitas added that the government took this measure due to the high cost of paper and book printing, noting that it bore the difference that Moroccan families would have paid, and sat down with the concerned authority to determine the exact cost and the process of disbursing it.
The official stressed that the government has allocated this support so that the textbooks do not note an increase, indicating that it will monitor the prices.
