At the entrance of the Mohammed [00:04:06] VI Exhibition Center, the Ambassador of the Republic [00:04:08] this day, the four of Turkey, the Ambassador of the Sultanate of Oman, [00:04:11] the Chargé d'Affaires at the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates, [00:04:15] in addition to high-level diplomatic [00:04:18] personalities, came forward to greet His Royal Highness Crown Prince [00:04:21] Moulay Hassan. [00:04:23] for the next five After that, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Moulay Hassan [00:04:25] toured the various [00:04:29] halls of the exhibition, [00:04:31] show jumping competitions to where His Highness visited the institutional space, which [00:04:34] includes exhibitions and halls dedicated [00:04:37] to the Royal Guard, the Auxiliary Forces, [00:04:41] the Royal Gendarmerie, the Directorate General of National Security, [00:04:44] and the Royal Armed Forces. Here, the horse [00:04:48] plays a pivotal and important role that includes many tasks [00:04:51] related to critical interventions in rugged [00:04:55] and mountainous areas and inaccessible heights. It also [00:04:58] contributes to maintaining security in various artistic [00:05:02] and sports events and achieving tourist security in [00:05:07] issued an hour ago King Mohammed VI for show jumping, open spaces, where explanations and clarifications were provided to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Moulay Hassan [00:05:10] regarding the various areas of [00:05:14] intervention. These forces pay special attention [00:05:17] to horses and place them among the priorities related [00:05:21] to performing their national duty in the best possible conditions, [00:05:25] whether it concerns reconnaissance [00:05:28] or security missions. Many are the halls [00:05:31] through which the importance of the horse in providing various [00:05:35] services and facilitating areas of security intervention and [00:05:38] its presentation to citizens is highlighted. [00:05:48] The 17th edition of the exhibition [00:05:51] carries the slogan "The Horse in the Service of Man." It reveals to [00:05:55] local visitors and those coming from different parts of the world [00:05:59] that the exhibition offers a wide window onto a rich [00:06:02] cultural heritage associated with horses, whose memory [00:06:05] has always been intertwined with the history [00:06:09] This is where the Moroccan human cherished [00:06:17] self-esteem and artistic refinement. The exhibition reflects [00:06:21] the rich human culture that has been enhanced and grown [00:06:24] within the Moroccan nation, side by [00:06:26] side with the symbolism [00:06:29] the Moroccan popular imagination. [00:06:32] It is a bond that has combined [00:06:35] history and also contributed to the development and advancement [00:06:39] of professions in the equestrian sector in Morocco, including [00:06:42] aspects related to industry, scientific [00:06:45] and veterinary research, and services. [00:06:48] The exhibition provides a platform for essential exchange among [00:06:51] various stakeholders in the equestrian sector, in a remarkable [00:06:54] interconnectedness that brings together distant [00:06:57] specialties: sports with art, industry [00:07:01] with traditional heritage, and passion [00:07:03] with globalism. The El Jadida exhibition is [00:07:07] a window that opens to traditional crafts [00:07:11] that have literally documented history [00:07:14] through the intertwining of threads, the harmony of symbols, and the unique [00:07:17] genius of the Moroccan craftsman, who is naturally passionate [00:07:20] about horses. There is a special attraction to the halls of Moroccan [00:07:24] crafts, which found their essence hundreds of years ago [00:07:27] in the details and intricacies of the horse, creating with this [00:07:30] heritage artistic masterpieces that honor [00:07:33] the rider and the horse, and all those interconnected [00:07:36] elements between the two entities. His Royal Highness Crown Prince [00:07:40] Moulay Hassan also visited the halls of exhibitors representing various regions of the Kingdom, in what resembles a mosaic of identity [00:07:47] and difference that simultaneously creates the richness of the Moroccan [00:07:50] cultural heritage, which has nurtured epic tales of [00:07:53] knights and horses [00:07:57] that embody a work of art with all the colors of beauty [00:07:59] and uniqueness highlighted by the Moroccan [00:08:03] craftsman's skill. The exhibition provides visitors with an overview of [00:08:05] various specialties related to horse [00:08:09] breeding, care, and maintenance [00:08:12] of various purebreds, as well as the development of [00:08:16] equestrian skills and associated traditional [00:08:19] arts, which reinforces for [00:08:22] visitors the extent of Moroccans' attachment [00:08:25] and passion for horses as a symbol of courage, [00:08:29] love of belonging, and perhaps that is what led UNESCO, [00:08:33] an agency of the United Nations, to classify the traditional equestrian [00:08:36] art of Tbourida as an intangible global heritage [00:08:39] for humanity. His Royal Highness Crown Prince [00:08:43] Moulay Hassan visited the children's space, where a significant [00:08:47] area is dedicated to this age group so that [00:08:51] they can learn about the particularity of this [00:08:54] cultural heritage in an atmosphere full [00:08:57] of fun and learning by relying [00:09:01] on interactive technical characteristics that stimulate [00:09:04] a child's imagination and quench the thirst of youngsters for knowledge [00:09:07] and discovering the worlds of horses and the enjoyable [00:09:10] aspect of instilling this culture in their minds. [00:09:14] His Royal Highness Crown Prince Moulay Hassan visited [00:09:18] the various halls related to care, [00:09:21] services, education, and providing [00:09:24] various means of livelihood for horses [00:09:26] and horse breeds, and developing ways to preserve [00:09:30] them in the service of humanity, as [00:09:33] the slogan of this edition indicates. This year's exhibition brings [00:09:37] many new developments, mainly concerning the sporting aspect [00:09:40] and the upgrading of [00:09:43] a five-star category. [00:09:46] His Royal Highness Crown Prince Moulay [00:09:49] Hassan today presided over the opening ceremony of the 17th [00:09:53] edition of the El Jadida Horse Exhibition, which [00:09:56] will be held under the high patronage of His Majesty King [00:10:00] Mohammed VI, may God assist him. [00:10:03] The slogan chosen for this edition [00:10:06] is "The Horse in the Service of Man." [00:10:08] This edition will also witness [00:10:12] several new developments, including the Grand [00:10:16] Prize of His Majesty [00:10:19] which will move from six stars [00:10:23] to five stars. [00:10:25] Also, some new developments in other varied [00:10:28] and diverse competitions, as well as wide participation [00:10:32] of several friendly and sisterly countries [00:10:36] and several [00:10:39] riders from [00:10:41] multiple countries. [00:10:52] His Royal Highness Crown Prince [00:10:59] His Royal Highness Crown Prince Moulay Hassan, may God protect you, [00:11:02] we have the great honor, Your Highness, to present before Your [00:11:06] Noble Highness this [00:11:33] This included, in particular, a display by the Carousel [00:11:36] Troupe of the Auxiliary Forces. Here, [00:11:39] military discipline enhances the elegance of artistic control [00:11:43] and provides these tableaux with fertile ground for brilliance [00:11:46] and liberation from anything that might hinder [00:11:50] the horse and its rider from [00:11:52] creativity. [00:14:33] His Royal Highness Crown Prince Moulay Hassan also watched [00:14:36] artistic performances by various Moroccan [00:14:39] and foreign artistic troupes. This year, the stage was opened [00:14:43] to diverse performances that reached the highest levels [00:14:46] of artistic refinement through renowned trainers, riders, and artists [00:14:49] who tamed horses and used music [00:14:53] and lighting as reins to guide the horses towards [00:14:56] crafting epic stories that lead [00:14:59] the viewer's imagination to many images [00:15:03] of the emotional connection between the horse and its rider. [00:15:37] The performances continued through many segments in which professional [00:15:41] artists evoked the symbolism of the horse as an icon of loyalty [00:15:45] and chivalry, immortalizing the features of history and the brilliance of the future. [00:15:48] ملامح التاريخ واشراقات المستقبل. [00:16:34] And at the end of the artistic performances, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Moulay Hassan watched performances of traditional [00:16:40] horsemanship, Tbourida. [00:16:42] التبورده [00:16:49] A salute [00:16:54] that included various regions of the Kingdom, where the ways of [00:16:58] this art multiply and the styles, traditional [00:17:01] costumes, and movements vary in quality and quantity [00:17:05] from one geographical region to another. [00:17:46] And after the end of the performances of traditional horsemanship, Tbourida, [00:17:49] which were presented by 18 troupes from [00:17:53] various regions of the Kingdom, His Royal Highness Crown Prince [00:17:56] Moulay Hassan took commemorative photos with the leaders [00:18:00] of the troupes before His Royal Highness Crown Prince [00:18:03] Moulay Hassan left the Mohammed VI Exhibition Center. [00:18:20] After two rounds of political consultations led by the appointed Head of Government, [00:18:24] Fatima Zahra Mansouri, an agreement was reached on a political [00:18:28] majority consisting of the Authenticity and Modernity, [00:18:31] Istiqlal, and Socialist Union of Popular Forces parties [00:18:34] and the Progressive and Socialist Party. The details are in the statement [00:18:38] issued by the government [00:18:39] majority. [00:18:42] Immediately after His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God protect him [00:18:45] and grant him victory, appointed Mrs. [00:18:49] Fatima Zahra Mansouri as the national leader of the collective [00:18:52] secretariat of the Authenticity and Modernity Party, [00:18:56] which topped the elections, [00:18:58] as the Head of the new Government and tasked [00:19:01] with forming it, [00:19:05] the Constitution, she began a wide political consultation [00:19:08] process with a number of parties [00:19:11] represented in Parliament, starting with discussing the various challenges [00:19:15] and constraints facing our country [00:19:18] and ending with the formation of a strong [00:19:21] and cohesive political majority, aware of the magnitude [00:19:24] of the complex internal challenges and the multiple external constraints, [00:19:30] to the expectations of citizens in providing decent living [00:19:33] conditions, strengthening freedoms and rights, [00:19:37] achieving social justice and spatial [00:19:40] equity, and promoting economic prosperity. [00:19:43] Thus, and after two rounds of initial [00:19:47] political consultations led by the appointed Head of Government, [00:19:51] during which she considered the higher interest of the country, the national [00:19:54] and international context, and also the popular will expressed [00:19:58] during the legislative elections of last September 23rd, [00:20:02] which resulted in the appointment of a female Head of Government [00:20:06] for the first time, which constituted a historic [00:20:08] and unprecedented event in our democratic path, [00:20:11] with strong significant implications. And after noting [00:20:15] the high spirit of national responsibility and deep [00:20:18] political awareness of the magnitude of the challenges [00:20:22] and stakes of this crucial moment, and after considering the precision [00:20:25] and requirements of the political and democratic phase [00:20:29] our country is currently experiencing, and after careful [00:20:32] consideration of previous government experiences, [00:20:35] it was decided to form a cohesive [00:20:39] political majority that will produce a strong [00:20:42] political government composed of political [00:20:45] components characterized by intellectual and political [00:20:49] convergence, and united by a reformist vision [00:20:53] and committed to it. A governmental majority that [00:20:56] will support the ambition of His Majesty, may God protect him, in building [00:20:59] a rising Morocco that moves at a single pace on [00:21:03] the basis of consolidating the foundations of democratic construction, good [00:21:06] governance, social justice, spatial [00:21:09] equity, and strengthening the productive capacities [00:21:12] of the national economy. In this context, an agreement was reached on [00:21:16] a political majority consisting of [00:21:18] the Authenticity and Modernity, Istiqlal, [00:21:22] the Socialist Union of Popular Forces, and the Progressive and Socialist [00:21:26] parties. On that basis, the four political parties [00:21:29] forming the new government majority [00:21:32] will propose the names of ministers [00:21:36] who possess competence, political acumen, integrity, [00:21:39] and rectitude. A cohesive and strong [00:21:43] government capable of implementing the provisions of the government program, which [00:21:47] will be prepared as soon as possible. [00:21:51] For more clarifications, we are joined live from the headquarters of the Authenticity and Modernity Party [00:21:54] in Rabat by our colleague Yasser El Amrani. Yasser, welcome. So, [00:21:58] after a long wait and great anticipation, the new [00:22:01] government majority is officially announced, [00:22:04] removing all doubt. A political majority with [00:22:08] a four-party alliance: the Authenticity and Modernity Party with the parties of the Bloc, [00:22:11] Istiqlal, the Socialist Union of Popular Forces, and the Progressive [00:22:15] and Socialist Party. What information or what information was highlighted [00:22:20] this day, leading to the announcement of this majority [00:22:24] a little while ago in an official statement, [00:22:25] Yasser? [00:22:30] So, Mariam, good evening. We can describe this day [00:22:34] as a marathon day. And as expected, [00:22:37] the statement of the government [00:22:41] and political majority that will lead [00:22:44] the government during the next five years [00:22:48] was announced. As expected, [00:22:51] without any surprises, four parties [00:22:55] will form this majority. The first of course is the Authenticity [00:22:59] and Modernity Party, which topped the September 23rd [00:23:02] elections, and it participates with 97 [00:23:06] seats. It is followed by the Istiqlal Party with [00:23:09] 65 seats. Also, [00:23:12] the Socialist Union of Popular Forces participates [00:23:15] with 26 seats. [00:23:18] The fourth party is the Progressive and Socialist Party [00:23:21] with 19 seats. This [00:23:26] had announced, before the issuance of this statement, [00:23:29] its effective participation in the government. [00:23:32] So this majority [00:23:35] will give us a parliamentary majority [00:23:38] with a number of 207 [00:23:41] seats out of 395 [00:23:45] seats, which is the total number of seats composing [00:23:49] the parliament. Now, after [00:23:53] the formation of the political majority, [00:23:58] that a number of names [00:24:01] of ministers will be proposed. [00:24:05] to whom the task of activating [00:24:08] and implementing the government program will be entrusted, which in turn [00:24:12] is expected to be announced at a specific [00:24:15] time later, [00:24:18] Mariam. Yasser, how did [00:24:21] you observe the various details and final arrangements [00:24:25] for the announcement of the majority, which confirmed all the readings, [00:24:28] conjectures, and prior leaks regarding the direction of a four-party [00:24:32] alliance between the Authenticity and Modernity [00:24:34] Party and the Bloc parties? [00:24:40] So, Mariam, the first thing to note is [00:24:44] the presence of media outlets in all [00:24:47] their forms and colors, [00:24:50] which closely followed [00:24:54] and its implications, as you mentioned. Throughout [00:24:58] parties were discussed, and in the end, [00:25:01] that is what happened, without [00:25:05] any surprise. So, the four parties [00:25:07] are the ones that will lead the next government [00:25:13] years. Now, after this day dedicated [00:25:16] to the political majority, tomorrow, Tuesday, [00:25:20] attention will turn to the House of Representatives [00:25:23] at around three o'clock in the afternoon. A new [00:25:26] speaker for this council will be [00:25:30] elected, and it is also an important and decisive [00:25:33] political station because it will provide [00:25:36] insights into political agreements [00:25:40] between parties and also concerning [00:25:43] the distribution of legislative [00:25:46] positions for the next [00:25:49] term. So, Mariam, a government composed [00:25:52] of four parties was described in the statement [00:25:57] as a cohesive political majority [00:26:00] capable of leading a strong [00:26:04] government for the next five years. Mariam, thank you very much, [00:26:08] colleague Yasser El Amrani. You were with us live from Rabat, from the headquarters of the Authenticity [00:26:11] and Modernity Party. [00:26:15] this political decision, of course, with our guest in the studio, [00:26:18] Dr. Badr El Zaher El Azraq, Professor of Business Law and Economics at Hassan II University [00:26:22] in Casablanca. Good evening. Good evening. Welcome. [00:26:25] We have long awaited this government majority, [00:26:29] after consultations continued for two rounds. [00:26:32] Today, or a little while ago, a government majority comprising four parties was announced: [00:26:36] the Authenticity and Modernity Party and the Bloc parties. What is your political [00:26:39] reading of this formation, and what does it reveal about the trends in reshaping [00:26:43] the party landscape, after the elections of [00:26:46] September 23rd? In fact, today, this four-party [00:26:49] formation is what was announced based on the scenarios that were previously predicted. The first [00:26:53] scenario was the National Rally of Independents. Today, the second scenario [00:26:56] was adopted, which includes a majority of the parties of the Democratic [00:26:59] Bloc. Today, we have the Authenticity and Modernity Party, which is a relatively [00:27:03] new party compared to the rest of the parties forming the Democratic [00:27:07] Bloc. It will lead this bloc. We are facing parties [00:27:10] that have accumulated a history of struggle [00:27:14] of governmental work and parliamentary work in opposition as well. [00:27:18] There is great experience that will be added to the new one that the Authenticity [00:27:22] and Modernity Party will inject, which has also accumulated experience at the level of governmental [00:27:25] work and opposition. So today, we are facing a new formation, [00:27:28] two parties from the previous government, and two parties [00:27:32] also from those who have experienced opposition and those who have also experienced governmental [00:27:36] work. So today, the vision will not be entirely clear [00:27:39] regarding these parties until after the government [00:27:43] program is drafted and after the ministerial portfolios [00:27:46] are distributed, because today we are facing parties [00:27:50] with seemingly convergent and somewhat different backgrounds. [00:27:53] Most of them belong to the modernist current, and the Istiqlal [00:27:57] Party also has a conservative background. A great [00:27:59] discussion will revolve around priorities, and I [00:28:05] significant regarding priorities, as they will focus on the basic concerns of Moroccan [00:28:08] citizens, primarily employment, development, economic transition, [00:28:12] and also addressing the decline in purchasing power [00:28:15] of citizens in recent years and working to restore it. So,
