Emphasizing Real Issues for Moroccans
In a recent political gathering in Marrakech, Mouad Ben Saïd articulated the vision of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), placing a strong emphasis on addressing the pressing issues that directly impact the daily lives of Moroccans, including employment, prices, youth opportunities, and spatial justice. He stressed that the upcoming political phase does not allow for vague promises or peripheral discussions; rather, it necessitates clear, accountable programs with defined costs and tangible outcomes.
Commitment to Youth and Economic Realities
Ben Saïd highlighted that the PAM's electoral program has been crafted based on the genuine challenges and expectations of citizens, with a particular focus on youth engagement. He introduced what he referred to as the "Youth Pact," a political commitment aimed at responding to the needs of young people through quality training, dignified employment opportunities, and equitable chances across various regions and provinces. He noted that Moroccan youth are not seeking privileges but rather aspire for training that meets their ambitions and job opportunities that uphold their dignity, alongside equal treatment throughout the national territory.
In a direct political message to the party's opponents, Ben Saïd asserted that PAM's program does not merely present commitments but also specifies the necessary budgets and funding sources for their execution. He emphasized that providing financial figures is a crucial aspect of any credible electoral proposal. Furthermore, his speech included pointed criticisms of certain political forces that have held governmental responsibility for decades, arguing that attempts to overlook the results of years of governance or to present them in isolation from failures will not convince Moroccans. Instead, he stated that PAM chooses to acknowledge both its achievements and setbacks, contending that recognizing failures in some sectors is not a weakness but a starting point for seeking solutions.
Addressing the rising prices of essential goods, from vegetables to meats, Ben Saïd criticized previous narratives that attempted to misrepresent the reality faced by citizens in markets, asserting that Moroccans are acutely aware of price fluctuations through their daily experiences. He reiterated that the party had previously proposed solutions during its tenure in the government majority, particularly during crises related to price hikes, although some of these proposals did not see implementation.
Reflecting on PAM's participation in government, Ben Saïd noted that the past five years represented the party's first experience in governance, expressing pride in what its ministers achieved across various sectors. He clarified that the party does not present its experience as flawless but as one that is open to evaluation and accountability. Looking ahead to the upcoming elections, he stressed the importance of directly engaging with the Moroccan populace, stating that the party aims to connect with the Moroccan people rather than corporate interests, and to appeal to the youth rather than individual lobbies. He concluded by asserting that the party's grassroots presence should not be merely a seasonal image tied to electoral campaigns, but rather a testament to its organizational efforts since its establishment in 2008, with the current challenge being not just to secure traditional votes or seats but to broaden the appeal of its program and the idea of responsibility and transparency before the citizens.
