Fouzi Lekjaa Highlights Essential Priorities for the Future

During a recent campaign event held on September 19, 2026, in Ouarzazate, Fouzi Lekjaa, a prominent member of the political bureau of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), articulated several crucial priorities that he believes must be addressed over the next five years as part of the party's strategy for the upcoming legislative elections. Central to his address were fundamental issues such as access to water, electricity, and road infrastructure, as well as direct aid, social protection, youth employment, healthcare, education, and the restoration of public trust. Lekjaa emphasized the urgency of resolving these basic service issues by 2031, stating, "It is unacceptable that by 2030 we are still discussing essential matters such as these." He firmly believes that these necessities must be tackled in the immediate future.

Empowering Youth and Strengthening Social Support

In terms of social initiatives, Lekjaa proposed increasing direct financial assistance to families from 500 to 1,000 dirhams, advocating for a reevaluation of eligibility criteria to better reflect the actual income of households rather than relying on certain expenditures or assets currently used for assessment. The issue of social protection, especially concerning widows, was also a focal point during this gathering, aiming to enhance support mechanisms for the most vulnerable groups in society.

Furthermore, youth empowerment emerged as a critical theme in Lekjaa's speech. He stressed the importance of creating an environment where young people can work, build their futures in Morocco, and contribute to wealth creation. "This is their country; they should be able to work, generate wealth, and live with dignity here," he asserted. He also addressed healthcare and education, highlighting that access to medical services remains a significant challenge, particularly in areas where hospitals lack sufficient medical staff and resources to meet patient needs.

Finally, Lekjaa underscored the necessity of restoring trust between citizens and public officials, advocating for a genuine partnership characterized by accountability. He stated, "Restoring trust between us and you is a contract for which we will be held accountable." This initiative is part of a broader ambition to advance different regions of the country at a uniform pace, fostering growth and development, encapsulated in the phrase: "Morocco at a single speed."
