Internal Discontent Within the Party

A group of members from the Authenticity and Modernity Party in the city of Fes has publicly expressed their rejection of Khadija El Hajjoubi's nomination to lead the regional women's list on behalf of the party in the Fes-Meknes region. They are urging the political bureau to reconsider this decision, citing several reasons that have led to their discontent. Among these is what they describe as a "physical and moral assault" faced by councilor Nadia Machkour, which they claim has been forwarded to the party's disciplinary committee without any significant actions being taken against those involved.

The signatories of the statement criticized what they perceive as a "authoritarian and exclusionary" approach in dealing with party members, arguing that such behavior contradicts the values of democratic party work and mutual respect. They noted the existence of a negative reputation and circulating suspicions regarding the nominee within local and party circles, which they believe could tarnish the party's image and hinder the participation of several activists in upcoming elections alongside her.

Calls for Fair Representation

The statement further highlighted a growing sense of dissatisfaction and frustration among party members in the Fes-Meknes region, particularly in Fes, due to the management of internal relations within the organization. Additionally, the signers raised concerns about the lack of equitable representation in the distribution of candidacy opportunities on the regional women's list, pointing out that the city of Fes has benefitted from the same nomination for two previous election terms, while other regions possess competent women capable of representing the party.

In light of these issues, the signatories are demanding that the political bureau reassess the decision to nominate El Hajjoubi and instead open the process for selecting a candidate who enjoys consensus and trust within the party ranks. They believe that such a move would strengthen the unity and cohesion of the party while safeguarding its image and credibility. Furthermore, they have warned that should El Hajjoubi remain as the nominee for the regional women's list, they may resign from the party, asserting that clinging to this choice would violate the principles of fairness, internal democracy, and respect for the will of the party activists.
