Fes Councilor Creates Stir with Resignation Announcement
In a dramatic turn of events during the October 2026 session of the Fes municipal council, councilor Ali Boumehdi, a member of the Democratic Forces Party, sparked a significant uproar by entering the meeting room with a large bag emblazoned with the phrase "Party of the Sack". This unexpected act was not just a theatrical gesture; it marked Boumehdi's formal resignation from the Fes municipal council, a move he announced while still holding the conspicuous bag.
The announcement quickly escalated tensions within the council, particularly among members of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), who perceived the bag's wording as a direct affront. In response to what they considered a provocative stunt, the PAM councilors collectively decided to walk out of the session, a move that caused considerable disruption and confusion in the chamber. This incident prompted the council president to temporarily suspend the proceedings to address the escalating situation.
This incident occurs against the backdrop of a recent scandal involving electoral fraud that surfaced in Tangier on September 23, coinciding with legislative elections. Investigations following this event led to the arrest of several individuals, including the mayor of Tangier, Munir Limoari, from the PAM party, who is now facing charges and has been placed in custody.
