The House of Representatives (lower house) is ready to hold an extraordinary session for the examination of the organic bills relating to the elections and the generalization of social security, approved Thursday at the Council of Ministers, said the House Speaker, Habib El Malki.

Speaking Friday in Rabat at a press conference held at the end of the first legislative session, El Malki underlined that the October session was marked by the examination of the positive developments of the Sahara issue, under the enlightened leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, adding that the recognition of the Moroccanness of the Sahara by the United States is a decisive turning point that reinforces the legality of the Moroccan position.

This session was also marked by the issue of the fight against Covid-19 and its repercussions, he added, noting that Morocco was able to take up this challenge and accomplish several achievements, under the wise leadership of the Sovereign.

At the legislative level, the House of Representatives has dedicated two sessions to the adoption of five bills, he recalled, emphasizing the government’s positive interaction with these initiatives.

Our ambition is to intensify dialogue and debate with the Executive on some 223 bills which are of an urgent nature, he pointed out.

The Lower House approved, during the October session, 40 legislative texts, including five bills and held 39 plenary sessions, including three that were dedicated to the Sahara issue, said El Malki, deeming the outcome as “very positive”, insofar as the Chamber has interacted with the expectations of Moroccan society, while focusing on the issue of territorial integrity, parliamentary diplomacy and the fight against COVID-19.
