The recent appointment of Fouzi Lekjaa to the political bureau of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) has emerged as a focal point during a meeting held on Sunday morning in Agadir, organized by the party's regional secretariat in Souss-Massa. This gathering brought together political bureau members, the national electoral commission, as well as parliamentarians, local officials, and activists from the region. Its primary aim was to enhance coordination between the party’s leadership and its local structures in preparation for the forthcoming electoral challenges.
During the meeting, numerous speakers lauded the inclusion of the Minister Delegate in Charge of Budget within PAM's leadership team, viewing it as a significant enhancement due to his experience within state institutions. His recent appointment has sparked considerable political discourse, lending an exceptional significance to this assembly.
However, beyond the reshaping of the leadership, the discourse delivered in Agadir heavily underscored the principles of ‘sincerity’ and ‘seriousness,’ which were framed as essential foundations that should guide the party’s actions in the upcoming phase. Speakers emphasized the need to rebuild trust in political action through increased ground presence, regular engagement with citizens, and avoiding promises that exceed the party’s actual capabilities.
Fostering Close Connections with the Community
PAM aims to bolster the role of its local structures in fostering dialogue with citizens. Several attendees highlighted that political presence should not be limited to electoral periods, especially in light of the growing expectations from youth and their concerns regarding their relationship with institutions and politics. Recent developments concerning migration attempts towards Sebta were also addressed, with some speakers interpreting this as a signal to better listen to young people and comprehend the socio-economic factors that drive their expectations, while also establishing more consistent channels of communication with this demographic.
This emphasis on proximity arises as political parties gradually begin their preparations for the upcoming elections. For PAM, the challenge now lies in translating the key themes articulated in Agadir—namely sincerity, seriousness, and proximity—into a coherent political agenda and tangible on-the-ground presence.
The meeting in Souss-Massa is part of a series of organizational activities designed to prepare the party for the impending electoral events. The entry of Fouzi Lekjaa into the political bureau also adds a new dimension to the ongoing debate about the composition of PAM’s leadership and the profiles that the party intends to mobilize for the next phase.
