Justice and Spirituality Movement Takes a Stand
In a significant political declaration, Morocco’s Justice and Spirituality movement has officially announced its decision to boycott the upcoming legislative elections scheduled for September 23, 2026. The movement's leaders have expressed a firm stance against the electoral process, urging their members and the general public to refrain from participating in what they deem a flawed system. In a detailed statement, the movement articulated their belief that Moroccan elections, as they currently stand, have consistently failed to foster democracy, freedom, and justice over the years. Instead, they argue that these elections have merely perpetuated a cycle of authoritarianism and corruption, leading to widespread public disillusionment and disengagement from political processes.
The movement identifies the root cause of these issues as a political system where elected institutions lack real decision-making authority. They emphasize that the electoral framework does not facilitate a genuine rotation of power, highlighting ongoing restrictions on civil liberties, the absence of conditions necessary for fair political competition, and the systemic suppression of dissenting voices through arrests and legal actions against activists and political opponents.
In clarifying their position, Justice and Spirituality asserts that their boycott is not an abandonment of public affairs but rather a clear rejection of an electoral mechanism that fails to empower citizens to shape their political destinies. The movement concluded its statement with a call to action, advocating for a continued struggle for freedom, dignity, and effective governance, while also advocating for the establishment of a new political framework that genuinely reflects the will of the people and grants real powers to elected institutions.
