[00:00:00] related to the outcome of the performance
[00:00:02] of the majority. We see that the National Rally of Independents
[00:00:06] and good. On the contrary, this is healthy in has participated in many governments,
[00:00:08] but this is the first time it leads the government under the 2011
[00:00:12] constitution.
[00:00:14] The President of the National Council of the So, what has this matter changed
[00:00:17] in a party established in
[00:00:20] 1977 or 1978 by independents who had
[00:00:23] gained the majority,
[00:00:27] you are talking to me about the party. I spoke to you about and during that period, the party was headed by Mr. Ahmed
[00:00:30] Osman?
[00:00:33] responsibility for this specific Thank you. This political path, the political path of the party,
[00:00:36] that benefits from this I think before we talk about the government's performance, we should look at the numbers that just came out
[00:00:40] these two days. Growth
[00:00:42] is 5.3%.
[00:00:45] The budget deficit is 3%. Inflation is 0.4%.
[00:00:49] Unemployment has dropped from 13% to 9.5%.
[00:00:52] These are very important figures that I want you to remember
[00:00:55] with me. Regarding the performance,
[00:00:59] before we talk about the performance, we need to see what has changed in
[00:01:01] of Independents. First, there was no Morocco during this term. We need to know that when the government
[00:01:04] took over responsibility, Morocco was in COVID.
[00:01:08] We conducted the election campaign with masks.
[00:01:11] There was drought. It was almost the third or fourth
[00:01:15] year of drought. There was war. There was the earthquake.
[00:01:18] So, in all these circumstances,
[00:01:20] a problem with colleagues in the government took on responsibility.
[00:01:23] and we saw, The criterion for evaluating government work
[00:01:26] is two things: how it faced the crisis and how it implemented
[00:01:30] I will give you some very
[00:01:32] has been on the shelves for almost important figures. There are
[00:01:35] 24 million
[00:01:38] times 17, this Moroccans who have health protection
[00:01:43] It's hard to calculate. and among these 24 million, 10
[00:01:45] and a half million have a contribution, meaning the state
[00:01:48] covers their costs. 4 million
[00:01:55] political competition leading and this was mentioned in His Majesty the King's Moroccan families receive direct support every month. This was not
[00:01:58] available before. 45 million
[00:02:03] like this, should also go and search for dirhams was the cost of social dialogue, which has tripled over a year.
[00:02:07] Let me interrupt you, Mr. Ghiyat, the number of
[00:02:10] 8 and a half million Moroccans who are not covered by health
[00:02:14] insurance,
[00:02:17] he is saying. He spoke about this number is circulated by the opposition and the parliamentary opposition.
[00:02:21] I am talking to you with the figures of constitutional
[00:02:23] institutions. It does not exist. I am talking to you
[00:02:26] with official figures. These figures are
[00:02:30] in front of us.
[00:02:32] What I ask of you is to continue this Therefore, the 1000 dirhams increase net for public sector employees,
[00:02:35] all public sector employees received a net increase of 1000 dirhams.
[00:02:38] 340 billion dirhams in public investment.
[00:02:42] Brothers and sisters, Sabah, are you
[00:02:45] satisfied with these figures? Are you ready to defend
[00:02:48] them in the upcoming election campaign before the Moroccan
[00:02:52] us, left from the public? And we are not saying
[00:02:53] Approximately 63% of
[00:02:57] the goals, which were to raise to rethink their that we succeeded in everything.
[00:02:58] structure, their performance, and their We do not claim perfection. Who will adopt these figures? The National Rally
[00:03:00] of Independents alone, or with the Authenticity and Modernity Party
[00:03:03] and Al-Istiqlal? There are different views on this issue
[00:03:08] and to save water from from the Authenticity and Modernity Party and Al-Istiqlal Party. We
[00:03:10] take our responsibility as a government and we are ready to defend this
[00:03:14] as a party. So, this outcome, the government's performance,
[00:03:18] that can be productive. It should be in carries the responsibility of the government's performance. The government defends it, or
[00:03:21] in administrations, in the parliamentarian defends it. The government's performance is defended by
[00:03:24] the government that defends it. Why should
[00:03:28] do we import in the parliamentarian defend it? The government is supposed
[00:03:31] cannot be left on the to defend its figures and explain them. It defends you. You form
[00:03:35] the majority and speak on behalf of the government, Mr. Ghiyat. These are figures
[00:03:39] that I speak on behalf
[00:03:43] them in this situation. of the National Rally of Independents, a member of the Political we entered into reforms in this Bureau of the Rally Party,
[00:03:45] and at the same time,
[00:03:48] these figures, Mr.
[00:03:51] that will run in the elections Ghiyat, interact with these figures, meaning the opposition has repeatedly presented them here
[00:03:53] on more than one occasion. But these figures that we hear
[00:03:57] today, perhaps we hear them for the first time.
[00:04:02] They say that there are parties from So, we would like you to interact with the discussion and the opposition's discourse,
[00:04:06] that unemployment today has dropped from 13% to
[00:04:08] 9%. How did this happen in this last
[00:04:12] year? I mean, this inflation, which is less than 0.5%, how
[00:04:16] was it managed in the last year? While
[00:04:19] the opposition's figures are figures that
[00:04:22] all state that the government has not fulfilled its commitments stipulated in
[00:04:26] the government program.
[00:04:28] I mean, they criticize a group of issues that we will return to
[00:04:32] one by one throughout these five years. Mr. Abdullah,
[00:04:35] I am talking to you with figures from constitutional institutions.
[00:04:39] I am not saying what the opposition says.
[00:04:42] I am telling you today if the Central Bank tells you this is what happened, and this is what happened, the High Commission
[00:04:46] for Planning, these are correct figures, meaning
[00:04:49] issued by a constitutional institution,
[00:04:51] in speaking but now they are going to be independent. No, no, just how
[00:04:54] from 13.1% to 9% in a short period
[00:04:57] of time? We are talking
[00:05:04] about a recovering national economy, and all the reforms
[00:05:08] that have been implemented are now starting to yield
[00:05:11] results. So, you will enter the next phase
[00:05:15] of political or electoral discourse with these new figures
[00:05:17] announced by the High Commission for Planning.
[00:05:20] Of course, you don't think that, for example, Abdullah, the opposition
[00:05:24] has other figures, other explanations, and other
[00:05:27] perspectives regarding these figures. No, the opposition has
[00:05:31] other sources. I think we all refer
[00:05:35] to the figures provided by constitutional institutions, even though there was
[00:05:38] a kind of tension between the institution
[00:05:41] and the government during Mr. Halimi's time when he was
[00:05:45] head of this institution. Now, I won't get into that with you. I
[00:05:48] am telling you today, these are figures. Do we
[00:05:51] trust constitutional institutions or not? Today, these
[00:05:55] figures have been released, and they are
[00:05:58] based on a scientific
[00:06:01] methodology. We even saw how the report was written. So, these
[00:06:05] figures, we are proud of them and we cherish them.
[00:06:08] Mr. Ghiyat, these five years, we can talk about
[00:06:31] there are institutions for university
[00:06:34] and vocational training, and there are institutions for intermediation.
[00:06:37] Today, the effort made by the government with
[00:06:40] companies, the investment charter law,
[00:06:45] 18 years. The government issued it, and I was the head
[00:06:49] of the parliamentary group. We struggled to pass all the laws
[00:06:52] of that charter.
[00:06:55] Procedures are simplified almost every month.
[00:06:58] We have one problem with the support
[00:07:02] of banks,
[00:07:06] speech. Therefore, banks must
[00:07:09] play their role in economic support.
[00:07:12] That's good. The second point, I will continue with you. Let's talk about the training
[00:07:16] institutions, both at the vocational training level and the university
[00:07:20] level. They need to make an effort to bridge the gap
[00:07:23] between the market needs and the training they
[00:07:27] provide. And if we go to the intermediation institutions, there is
[00:07:30] a problem. Today, I see vocational training institutions
[00:07:34] as a sector in this direction. The issue
[00:07:37] is that today, its role is crucial to support the government in its work.
[00:07:41] Today, this sector plays its assigned
[00:07:45] role. I will continue with Professor. Let's go to the intermediation
[00:07:48] institutions, which is ANAPEC. Today, how many
[00:07:52] employment advisors do we have? Approximately between 400 and 600 advisors.
[00:07:56] Are they the ones who will work to help this sector move? I don't think
[00:07:59] so. Therefore, both the vocational training sector and the
[00:08:03] intermediation sector need efforts
[00:08:10] work. Since you mentioned vocational training, there is that figure
[00:08:14] of three, between 15 and 24 years
[00:08:17] old, of Moroccans who are neither studying nor working.
[00:08:20] I mean, there is no framework that we can
[00:08:24] put this category in,
[00:08:27] which is the category
[00:08:30] schools, in universities,
[00:08:34] factories, in companies. So, how do you view this
[00:08:37] category, from 15 to 24 years old, who are neither studying nor
[00:08:41] working? It is true. This segment
[00:08:44] streets. We must work on it. And if we look at the issue of Ceuta,
[00:08:48] part of it is from these people. Therefore, these
[00:08:50] public institutions must fulfill their
[00:08:54] duty. And therefore, they are
[00:08:57] vocational training institutions and intermediation institutions that
[00:09:01] mediate between employing sectors and government
[00:09:04] sector institutions with you in the government, Mr. Ghiyat. I know this diagnosis
[00:09:08] by Mr. Ghiyat is, first, a throwing of the ball into the court of a government sector
[00:09:12] with another party, your ally, Mr. Abdullah. I am
[00:09:16] discussing with you as a Moroccan citizen and a political actor, a member of the political
[00:09:20] bureau. On the contrary, I am not throwing anything away. On the contrary, anything
[00:09:23] that is corrected is corrected for the country. On the contrary, Mr. Ghiyat, let's
[00:09:26] look with you at five years with a perspective, let's look back
[00:09:30] a little. Five years, we are now
[00:09:33] at the finish line. Five years ago, there were
[00:09:37] big political discussions regarding
[00:09:40] the current majority. We started at the beginning
[00:09:43] with the use of money in elections, then came the overreach, then
[00:09:47] a group of issues emerged, including conflicts of interest,
[00:09:51] and other problems, meaning
[00:09:54] a group of criticisms that the opposition directed at you. But on the other hand,
[00:09:58] we saw the majority somewhat reserved
[00:10:03] and interacting in facing what the opposition
[00:10:07] said and criticized in these matters that
[00:10:10] passed in these five years. Was the majority
[00:10:14] in good shape? Did you
[00:10:17] not give importance to these
[00:10:21] discussions? How did you spend these five years on this issue?
[00:10:33] Look, Mr. Abdullah, during these five years, the majority was working,
[00:10:36] and the opposition was talking. I followed and followed
[00:10:39] episodes here, and I listened and watched this opposition
[00:10:43] كتكلم ما قدمت حتى شي بديل وانا مستعد معك
[00:10:46] اليوم ونتكلم معك بكل صراحه فهديك الملفات اللي هما كيناقشو
[00:10:50] فيها وحنا تعاملنا بحكمه وبرزانه وما
[00:10:54] خليناش الخطاب السياسي نزل لهذاك المستوى اللي كان كيتناقشو
[00:10:57] به واخا نمشيو من بملف
[00:11:00] ملف السي السي غيات وانتما الى حد الان
[00:11:05] النقاش ديالها غنمشيو للدعم ديال 13
[00:11:10] النطق 13 مليار
[00:11:13] درهم اللي حسنني الحكومه ناخدوها بهاد
[00:11:17] الجانب هذا ونعطيو هاد التفسير عطات
[00:11:19] دعم للمستوردين ديال الاغنام باش باش
[00:11:23] اللحوم ما تصعدش لواحد
[00:11:33] The government and Mr. Lekjaa probably confirmed this issue in Parliament,
[00:11:36] that the aim of the support did not reach the results that the
[00:11:39] government desired, and that it greatly
[00:11:43] affected the three constituent parties of the government.
[00:11:47] What is your share in this issue, Mr. Ghiyat,
[00:11:50] as a party? First, Professor Sabah, I am
[00:11:54] surprised to hear that there are no
[00:11:57] 13 billion dirhams. We heard many figures. No,
[00:12:01] look, 13 number, Mr. Abdullah, I
[00:12:05] will give you Professor Sabah said it's hard to pronounce.
[00:12:08] I'll give you the real
[00:12:10] number. The budget support
[00:12:14] for this sheep import issue. Now you will correct the number.
[00:12:17] I will correct the number for you. I will give you the number
[00:12:21] that came out of the state budget, which is 13
[00:12:25] billion dirhams. That was brought by those factions of political
[00:12:29] speeches. As for what came out of the state
[00:12:32] budget, it is 430 dirhams over
[00:12:35] two years. 430 million dirhams. 430 million
[00:12:39] dirhams over two years. This
[00:12:41] is an official figure that you should look at. And in public media institutions,
[00:12:45] we should not pass on this error. 13
[00:12:48] billion. I will go back to this number. This
[00:12:52] is what people call the factory of lies.
[00:12:55] This is like the 17 billion dirhams that were mentioned in the fuel
[00:12:59] report. If you look at that report, there is no 17 billion. I will
[00:13:03] go back to you. That 17 billion dirhams that was mentioned in the fuel
[00:13:06] report was mentioned in the corridor by the committee chairman to the press, and no
[00:13:10] one checked to see if that
[00:13:13] 17 billion dirhams
[00:13:16] existed. Where did these people get it from, Mr. Ghiyat? We have
[00:13:19] spent years, now since 2023, and we have been discussing this
[00:13:23] 17 billion dirhams, and we discussed it with
[00:13:31] the government, not in parliament. No, it doesn't exist. I am giving
[00:13:35] you the official number, which is 430
[00:13:38] dirhams, 430 million, 430 million
[00:13:41] dirhams that went to support
[00:13:44] livestock imports. The government did it in good faith
[00:13:48] to whether this support reached its goal. I will go with you. Did it reach its
[00:13:51] goal? I will tell you. Did it contribute to controlling the level
[00:13:55] of prices, especially in the meat sector? Look, look.
[00:13:59] That 430
[00:14:02] million dirhams was intended to support the purchasing
[00:14:05] power of Moroccan citizens. The government acted
[00:14:08] in good faith. So far, the problem that occurred is that
[00:14:11] the operation was not affected. Legally, there were no
[00:14:15] violations. No.
[00:14:18] There were no violations, because if we had done the law
[00:14:22] and violated the law, we would say there were violations.
[00:14:27] the majority and from your party who benefited from
[00:14:30] this support. Who benefited, for example, from the National Rally
[00:14:34] Party? Especially parliamentarians. I
[00:14:36] asked, and what I know is that there was one, not only
[00:14:40] from the National Rally of Independents. There were people,
[00:14:43] but I think even discussing this
[00:14:46] is irrelevant. Although he is a parliamentarian,
[00:14:49] he is a citizen. There was a procedure he
[00:14:52] entered, and what matters to him is the results. The results
[00:14:56] were not achieved, and that person who benefited is no longer with us in the party. He left
[00:14:59] during the transfer window. He is no longer with us. The transfer window.
[00:15:03] Why were the results not achieved, Mr. Ghiyat? Because the operation was not
[00:15:06] effective. I will be honest with you.
[00:15:09] Today, the Ministry of Agriculture's role is to provide
[00:15:12] the product. But the one who should oversee marketing is
[00:15:16] the Ministry of Industry and Trade. I sat with the Minister of Trade, you heard
[00:15:20] him speak with you, and I told him, Mr. Minister, there is a problem. Mr. Mazour,
[00:15:23] Mr. Mazour, I told him, you said you have. He told me, I have.
[00:15:27] I told him, good. Why
[00:15:30] did you not fight? He told me, I need to change the law, and what
[00:15:33] we do as a government is to prepare the law, and we as parliamentarians pass it and protect
[00:15:40] the honorable and clean who work and protect the Moroccan citizen.
[00:15:44] Do you want me to tell you the truth? This issue of factions, Mr. Ghiyat, refers us to
[00:15:47] the issue of these words, "factions." In media, it's not what is known
[00:15:51] in media. Mr. Ghiyat, the Green Morocco Plan,
[00:15:54] yes, we are in the Green Generation, we are in the Green Generation. But
[00:15:58] today, many criticisms from here and there
[00:16:02] always from the opposition to you as a government
[00:16:05] and as the National Rally of Independents.
[00:16:07] In managing the Green Morocco Plan file, it created
[00:16:11] a partisan elite public
[00:16:15] program. Because the Rally
[00:16:18] had the portfolio of agriculture as a ministry, because the party
[00:16:22] had previous governments.
[00:16:25] This file has been completed. There are a number of
[00:16:28] plans. No one discusses the water plan.
[00:16:32] What was done in it? No one talks about why this Green Morocco
[00:16:35] plan is criticized by everyone.
[00:16:37] Because there are those who are targeted by it. This is one. Two, I will
[00:16:41] surprise you. That exploratory mission
[00:16:44] for the Green Morocco Plan, who requested it? I was the head
[00:16:48] of the team, and I sat with the Minister of Agriculture. I told him I have
[00:16:52] an embarrassment with my colleagues. Is there
[00:16:55] a problem for it to be? I don't have
[00:16:58] the majority.
[00:17:01] Where has its report reached? Listen, listen.
[00:17:04] Let me finish. I requested it.
[00:17:37] You, in media institutions
[00:17:41] the truth, but within
[00:17:43] the government,
[00:17:46] Mr. Madian took over the presidency of
[00:17:49] the committee. We held two or three meetings
[00:17:52] and prepared our working method. He lost his seat
[00:17:56] in the constituency of Al-Hoceima. We kept
[00:17:58] waiting for the Istiqlal Party to give the presidency. We kept waiting for him.
[00:18:02] We did not receive the name until recently when he gave it,
[00:18:06] and the mission has started, but Parliament stopped and the mission
[00:18:09] did not complete its work on this issue of the plan.
[00:18:13] There was no good communication on the topic in a big way.
[00:18:16] I can, I took data. When I brought it up, I knew you were going
[00:18:20] to bring it up. I knew you were going to bring it up. When I sat down, I saw
[00:18:24] what the goals we set
[00:18:27] for the Green Morocco Plan were, and I will give you other data. When I went to Africa
[00:18:31] and saw it, it was not to raise
[00:18:34] the agricultural GDP from 60 to 90 billion dirhams, to raise
[00:18:38] exports by 44 billion dirhams, to double the income of three
[00:18:42] million rural residents,
[00:18:45] 20 to 50% of our water.
[00:18:49] We are living it, but I went to exports. Products consume water,
[00:18:52] Mr. What consumes water? Products consume water, meaning they require
[00:18:56] water for irrigation. So, Professor Sabah, we export 500
[00:19:00] million. All that is exported is 500 million cubic
[00:19:04] meters. How much vegetables?
[00:19:07] I mean, we import from abroad 9 billion cubic
[00:19:11] meters. We export, and we need to
[00:19:14] export because we need foreign currency for our economy, and we need that
[00:19:17] sector because your food security is
[00:19:21] you work on all aspects. You see, let me add the result.
[00:19:24] Exports tripled. 2.07
[00:19:28] million farmers benefited from support, guidance,
[00:19:31] and aggregation. We provided 2 billion
[00:19:34] dirhams. The one that is dominant in the country.
[00:20:07] Therefore, this must stop. And how will it stop? It is
[00:20:10] for us to come to you here and speak and say
[00:20:13] the truth. We welcome all actors.
[00:20:16] What did COVID
[00:20:18] do? The borders were
[00:20:21] closed. Three years of drought. Did we import anything?
[00:20:25] Nothing. That is the biggest
[00:20:28] evaluation of the Green Morocco Plan. That's it. Okay.
[00:20:32] Let's go, Mr. Ghiyat, because time
[00:20:35] is
[00:20:38] racing against it. Is the government majority currently in a phase
[00:20:42] of harmony or electoral
[00:20:45] early, this issue, because now every party
[00:20:49] sees the finish line or the end of the
[00:20:52] final meters. This is normal
[00:20:56] the country, meaning that there are some,
[00:20:59] for example, let's take the example of the Authenticity and Modernity Party.
[00:21:04] Rally at the party meeting, Najat Kokos, said
[00:21:08] Najwa said that
[00:21:11] the PAM has no relation to the "For Opportunity" project
[00:21:14] or the "Opportunity" program for employment. Meaning they disassociated themselves
[00:21:17] from this, meaning they do not take
[00:21:23] issue, this project that is under the Minister of Tourism,
[00:21:26] Mrs. Amour. I cannot respond to this.
[00:21:30] I think it's just sentiment.
[00:21:34] Professor Sabah, we were united in this government majority,
[00:21:37] and we must continue to defend this performance until the last moment.
[00:21:40] As for political outbidding, for us to start disclaiming responsibilities, I
[00:21:44] think this is irresponsible discourse. We have reached today, meaning
[00:21:48] time has brought us closer to entering the electoral period,
[00:21:50] Mr. Ghiyat. The three allies in the current
[00:21:54] majority, today there is a discussion
[00:21:58] among its three
[00:22:00] poles. I want to give you two points, Mr. Ghiyat, and you interact
[00:22:03] with them. The first is that we saw the Istiqlal Party talking
[00:22:07] about conflicts of interest and fighting
[00:22:10] corruption, in the political
[00:22:14] transfer window, those who joined political
[00:22:18] parties, and at their head is Mr. Fouzi Lekjaa, who joined the Authenticity
[00:22:22] and Modernity Party. And the answer came, from Dakhla, from the mouth of
[00:22:26] the National Rally of Independents in a speech by Mr.
[00:22:29] Aziz Akhannouch.
[00:22:32] Today, how does the National Rally of Independents view what is happening in the political
[00:22:35] arena, from movements, from transformations, and from
[00:22:39] speeches from its allies?
[00:22:42] I think this
[00:22:45] to elections seems to me to be a legitimate
[00:22:48] matter, but it needs a little
[00:22:52] political fitness. There needs to be
[00:22:55] political decency in this matter. This is what happened in Dakhla. I know what you are referring to.
[00:22:59] The speech of Mr. Aziz Akhannouch. Mr. Aziz Akhannouch is a responsible man,
[00:23:02] a statesman, and what he said, he said, and he knows what
[00:23:07] the transfer window. If the transfer window
[00:23:10] is done in politically acceptable ways, we have no problem.
[00:23:14] On the contrary, every citizen has every political actor has the right to choose
[00:23:17] the political expression he wants to go to,
[00:23:20] where he finds his ambition. But for there to be
[00:23:23] politically unacceptable practices in this transfer window, this is unreasonable.
[00:23:27] What is unacceptable, Mr. Ghiyat? I will not explain. Now, you only see
[00:23:31] the surface of the transfer window, this person went from here to here. But if you delved
[00:23:34] into the wiring and knew what happened, unacceptable things. You did not
[00:23:38] attract in this transfer window? No, we, on the contrary, whoever left
[00:23:42] surplus. But we worked throughout
[00:23:46] five years. We qualified our elite. We went
[00:23:50] to our constituencies and maintained what I told you
[00:23:54] earlier, that even the renewal among us is approximately
[00:23:57] 38%. 38%. We focused
[00:24:00] on renewal, and at the same time, we preserved experience,
[00:24:03] because to be a parliamentarian, I mean, almost the same political elite, not
[00:24:07] the same, it's almost 40% that you have, 60% that we kept, and
[00:24:10] 40% I want to clarify.
[00:24:13] Is 60% not a big number for the elite's
[00:24:16] renewal? Well, 40% renewal is not easy.
[00:24:20] Therefore, we must preserve that experience that we have built. I was
[00:24:23] the head of a team. We had an excellent team in all aspects.
[00:24:27] Let me finish. And these people who were trained, and you will abandon
[00:24:33] This accumulation, we must preserve it, because it is with it that we build. First,
[00:24:36] you have great confidence that this elite
[00:24:41] in Parliament is capable of confirming
[00:24:44] positive results for the party. We are confident, God willing,
[00:24:48] because these people have
[00:24:53] experience. Therefore, I believe that they will retain their seats,
[00:24:56] and even the new people we brought in, competition will be among the top three
[00:25:00] parties: the Rally, the Authenticity and Modernity Party, and Istiqlal?
[00:25:03] Or will it be able to? I think these are the parties, these are the parties that will create
[00:25:07] a surprise. A surprise.
[00:25:11] I don't think so. I don't think so. The current political landscape
[00:25:15] that I see, I don't think there will be any surprise.
[00:25:18] The premiership did not drain the party's political capital.
[00:25:22] On the contrary. Look, Mr. Abdullah,
[00:25:25] if there is any political injustice
[00:25:29] suffered by a party, it is the National Rally of Independents.
[00:25:33] Where is the injustice? I will tell you. I followed closely
[00:25:36] for these five years the performance of the government
[00:25:39] members in the party, and I followed our parliamentarians and our
[00:25:43] leadership. They work with sincerity, Mr. Abdullah.
[00:25:47] But there was, Professor Sabah,
[00:25:51] the party that Moroccans
[00:25:54] voted for in 2021, young and old,
[00:25:57] and gave it the first place and headed
[00:26:00] the government,
[00:26:02] will it deceive Moroccans? This is not right.
[00:26:06] Be assured, Mr. Abdullah, be assured, Professor Sabah, the work
[00:26:10] done by the party is a tremendous national work and deserves
[00:26:14] respect within the government, meaning that the other parties,
[00:26:17] I mean the Authenticity and Modernity Party and Istiqlal, are in
[00:26:21] a rank, meaning they performed their organizational role within
[00:26:24] the majority. They were good people who worked, but now
[00:26:29] the party. I am convinced that our
[00:26:32] party's performance was an excellent performance. I will go with you on these
[00:26:36] sectors that we took, education and health, which are the ones
[00:26:39] that have political costs. We chose them. We wanted them because
[00:26:43] the nation's interest comes above all else. And I will go into the details
[00:26:47] of these sectors because there are things that Moroccans need
[00:26:50] to know. But there was a period of
[00:26:53] strikes in the education and health sectors that created
[00:26:56] negative impressions for the government, for
[00:27:00] the National Rally
[00:27:03] good communication on this matter,
[00:27:07] neither education nor health.
[00:27:10] And the issue was related to social stakes more
[00:27:14] than it was about the honorary status
[00:27:17] of male and female teachers, and medical college students,
[00:27:20] specifically. Professor Sabah, I will get back to you. I will go with you
[00:27:24] to the education sector. Let's go slowly and increase
[00:27:26] the purchasing
[00:27:29] power. Moroccans need to know the facts accurately.
[00:27:36] The education sector. When we took over
[00:27:40] the sector, we found 130,000
[00:27:44] contract workers in the streets,
[00:27:47] in the streets. Moroccan children were not
[00:27:50] studying. Moroccan children were not
[00:27:53] studying. I headed the committee that
[00:27:56] prepared the report that was submitted
[00:28:00] to His Majesty the King. I am a member of the Higher Council.
[00:28:35] We will give you two
[00:28:37] indicators, two that Moroccans should know. The first
[00:28:41] indicator is in that
[00:28:44] PISA report for 2022.
[00:28:47] That is, the report was done during the period that passed.
[00:28:53] Moroccan children in fifth grade
[00:28:57] cannot form a meaningful sentence.
[00:29:00] And I'll give you more.
[00:29:02] a student in our baccalaureate level compared to
[00:29:20] Another report:
[00:29:22] a student in Turkey. A student in
[00:29:25] Turkey. This report shows that
[00:29:29] our student at the baccalaureate level has
[00:29:32] a level equivalent to the middle school level
[00:29:36] in Turkey. So are we going to keep
[00:29:39] watching? Therefore,
[00:29:43] sector, no matter the cost. The day
[00:29:47] we came, we promised Moroccans that when he joins, we will give him
[00:29:51] an increase of 2500 dirhams on his current salary.
[00:29:54] The cost was five billion dirhams. I sat with Mr. Chakib
[00:29:57] Benmoussa, and he told me, "I came to tell you
[00:30:00] that we were embarrassed. We included this in our electoral
[00:30:04] program and joined the government to implement this." I couldn't.
[00:30:08] The cost was five billion. He told me, "What about the passive ones
[00:30:12] here? How will I deal with them? I need to bring in contract workers."
[00:30:16] I need to fix all educational categories. All of them
[00:30:18] are affected. The cost reached 29 billion
[00:30:21] dirhams. Moroccans must know this.
[00:30:25] Today, the sector has found its path
[00:30:28] to success, and it is enough pride that the President of
[00:30:31] France, in front of the Head of Government and in front of the African
[00:30:34] community, told them, "You can be proud of what
[00:30:38] Morocco is doing." And a head of state will not speak
[00:30:41] about I'll give you more so
[00:30:44] we can move on to other topics because we no longer have this issue
[00:30:47] of this. If we don't tell
[00:30:51] Moroccans this today, when will we tell them? They must know that it is very
[00:30:54] important. It was possible only for the health sector to provide us
[00:30:58] with some data on it.
