00:00:00related to the outcome of the performance
00:00:02of the majority. We see that the National Rally of Independents
00:00:06and good. On the contrary, this is healthy in has participated in many governments,
00:00:08but this is the first time it leads the government under the 2011
00:00:12constitution.
00:00:14The President of the National Council of the So, what has this matter changed
00:00:17in a party established in
00:00:201977 or 1978 by independents who had
00:00:23gained the majority,
00:00:27you are talking to me about the party. I spoke to you about and during that period, the party was headed by Mr. Ahmed
00:00:30Osman?
00:00:33responsibility for this specific Thank you. This political path, the political path of the party,
00:00:36that benefits from this I think before we talk about the government's performance, we should look at the numbers that just came out
00:00:40these two days. Growth
00:00:42is 5.3%.
00:00:45The budget deficit is 3%. Inflation is 0.4%.
00:00:49Unemployment has dropped from 13% to 9.5%.
00:00:52These are very important figures that I want you to remember
00:00:55with me. Regarding the performance,
00:00:59before we talk about the performance, we need to see what has changed in
00:01:01of Independents. First, there was no Morocco during this term. We need to know that when the government
00:01:04took over responsibility, Morocco was in COVID.
00:01:08We conducted the election campaign with masks.
00:01:11There was drought. It was almost the third or fourth
00:01:15year of drought. There was war. There was the earthquake.
00:01:18So, in all these circumstances,
00:01:20a problem with colleagues in the government took on responsibility.
00:01:23and we saw, The criterion for evaluating government work
00:01:26is two things: how it faced the crisis and how it implemented
00:01:30I will give you some very
00:01:32has been on the shelves for almost important figures. There are
00:01:3524 million
00:01:38times 17, this Moroccans who have health protection
00:01:43It's hard to calculate. and among these 24 million, 10
00:01:45and a half million have a contribution, meaning the state
00:01:48covers their costs. 4 million
00:01:55political competition leading and this was mentioned in His Majesty the King's Moroccan families receive direct support every month. This was not
00:01:58available before. 45 million
00:02:03like this, should also go and search for dirhams was the cost of social dialogue, which has tripled over a year.
00:02:07Let me interrupt you, Mr. Ghiyat, the number of
00:02:108 and a half million Moroccans who are not covered by health
00:02:14insurance,
00:02:17he is saying. He spoke about this number is circulated by the opposition and the parliamentary opposition.
00:02:21I am talking to you with the figures of constitutional
00:02:23institutions. It does not exist. I am talking to you
00:02:26with official figures. These figures are
00:02:30in front of us.
00:02:32What I ask of you is to continue this Therefore, the 1000 dirhams increase net for public sector employees,
00:02:35all public sector employees received a net increase of 1000 dirhams.
00:02:38340 billion dirhams in public investment.
00:02:42Brothers and sisters, Sabah, are you
00:02:45satisfied with these figures? Are you ready to defend
00:02:48them in the upcoming election campaign before the Moroccan
00:02:52us, left from the public? And we are not saying
00:02:53Approximately 63% of
00:02:57the goals, which were to raise to rethink their that we succeeded in everything.
00:02:58structure, their performance, and their We do not claim perfection. Who will adopt these figures? The National Rally
00:03:00of Independents alone, or with the Authenticity and Modernity Party
00:03:03and Al-Istiqlal? There are different views on this issue
00:03:08and to save water from from the Authenticity and Modernity Party and Al-Istiqlal Party. We
00:03:10take our responsibility as a government and we are ready to defend this
00:03:14as a party. So, this outcome, the government's performance,
00:03:18that can be productive. It should be in carries the responsibility of the government's performance. The government defends it, or
00:03:21in administrations, in the parliamentarian defends it. The government's performance is defended by
00:03:24the government that defends it. Why should
00:03:28do we import in the parliamentarian defend it? The government is supposed
00:03:31cannot be left on the to defend its figures and explain them. It defends you. You form
00:03:35the majority and speak on behalf of the government, Mr. Ghiyat. These are figures
00:03:39that I speak on behalf
00:03:43them 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,
00:03:45and at the same time,
00:03:48these figures, Mr.
00:03:51that will run in the elections Ghiyat, interact with these figures, meaning the opposition has repeatedly presented them here
00:03:53on more than one occasion. But these figures that we hear
00:03:57today, perhaps we hear them for the first time.
00:04:02They say that there are parties from So, we would like you to interact with the discussion and the opposition's discourse,
00:04:06that unemployment today has dropped from 13% to
00:04:089%. How did this happen in this last
00:04:12year? I mean, this inflation, which is less than 0.5%, how
00:04:16was it managed in the last year? While
00:04:19the opposition's figures are figures that
00:04:22all state that the government has not fulfilled its commitments stipulated in
00:04:26the government program.
00:04:28I mean, they criticize a group of issues that we will return to
00:04:32one by one throughout these five years. Mr. Abdullah,
00:04:35I am talking to you with figures from constitutional institutions.
00:04:39I am not saying what the opposition says.
00:04:42I am telling you today if the Central Bank tells you this is what happened, and this is what happened, the High Commission
00:04:46for Planning, these are correct figures, meaning
00:04:49issued by a constitutional institution,
00:04:51in speaking but now they are going to be independent. No, no, just how
00:04:54from 13.1% to 9% in a short period
00:04:57of time? We are talking
00:05:04about a recovering national economy, and all the reforms
00:05:08that have been implemented are now starting to yield
00:05:11results. So, you will enter the next phase
00:05:15of political or electoral discourse with these new figures
00:05:17announced by the High Commission for Planning.
00:05:20Of course, you don't think that, for example, Abdullah, the opposition
00:05:24has other figures, other explanations, and other
00:05:27perspectives regarding these figures. No, the opposition has
00:05:31other sources. I think we all refer
00:05:35to the figures provided by constitutional institutions, even though there was
00:05:38a kind of tension between the institution
00:05:41and the government during Mr. Halimi's time when he was
00:05:45head of this institution. Now, I won't get into that with you. I
00:05:48am telling you today, these are figures. Do we
00:05:51trust constitutional institutions or not? Today, these
00:05:55figures have been released, and they are
00:05:58based on a scientific
00:06:01methodology. We even saw how the report was written. So, these
00:06:05figures, we are proud of them and we cherish them.
00:06:08Mr. Ghiyat, these five years, we can talk about
00:06:31there are institutions for university
00:06:34and vocational training, and there are institutions for intermediation.
00:06:37Today, the effort made by the government with
00:06:40companies, the investment charter law,
00:06:4518 years. The government issued it, and I was the head
00:06:49of the parliamentary group. We struggled to pass all the laws
00:06:52of that charter.
00:06:55Procedures are simplified almost every month.
00:06:58We have one problem with the support
00:07:02of banks,
00:07:06speech. Therefore, banks must
00:07:09play their role in economic support.
00:07:12That's good. The second point, I will continue with you. Let's talk about the training
00:07:16institutions, both at the vocational training level and the university
00:07:20level. They need to make an effort to bridge the gap
00:07:23between the market needs and the training they
00:07:27provide. And if we go to the intermediation institutions, there is
00:07:30a problem. Today, I see vocational training institutions
00:07:34as a sector in this direction. The issue
00:07:37is that today, its role is crucial to support the government in its work.
00:07:41Today, this sector plays its assigned
00:07:45role. I will continue with Professor. Let's go to the intermediation
00:07:48institutions, which is ANAPEC. Today, how many
00:07:52employment advisors do we have? Approximately between 400 and 600 advisors.
00:07:56Are they the ones who will work to help this sector move? I don't think
00:07:59so. Therefore, both the vocational training sector and the
00:08:03intermediation sector need efforts
00:08:10work. Since you mentioned vocational training, there is that figure
00:08:14of three, between 15 and 24 years
00:08:17old, of Moroccans who are neither studying nor working.
00:08:20I mean, there is no framework that we can
00:08:24put this category in,
00:08:27which is the category
00:08:30schools, in universities,
00:08:34factories, in companies. So, how do you view this
00:08:37category, from 15 to 24 years old, who are neither studying nor
00:08:41working? It is true. This segment
00:08:44streets. We must work on it. And if we look at the issue of Ceuta,
00:08:48part of it is from these people. Therefore, these
00:08:50public institutions must fulfill their
00:08:54duty. And therefore, they are
00:08:57vocational training institutions and intermediation institutions that
00:09:01mediate between employing sectors and government
00:09:04sector institutions with you in the government, Mr. Ghiyat. I know this diagnosis
00:09:08by Mr. Ghiyat is, first, a throwing of the ball into the court of a government sector
00:09:12with another party, your ally, Mr. Abdullah. I am
00:09:16discussing with you as a Moroccan citizen and a political actor, a member of the political
00:09:20bureau. On the contrary, I am not throwing anything away. On the contrary, anything
00:09:23that is corrected is corrected for the country. On the contrary, Mr. Ghiyat, let's
00:09:26look with you at five years with a perspective, let's look back
00:09:30a little. Five years, we are now
00:09:33at the finish line. Five years ago, there were
00:09:37big political discussions regarding
00:09:40the current majority. We started at the beginning
00:09:43with the use of money in elections, then came the overreach, then
00:09:47a group of issues emerged, including conflicts of interest,
00:09:51and other problems, meaning
00:09:54a group of criticisms that the opposition directed at you. But on the other hand,
00:09:58we saw the majority somewhat reserved
00:10:03and interacting in facing what the opposition
00:10:07said and criticized in these matters that
00:10:10passed in these five years. Was the majority
00:10:14in good shape? Did you
00:10:17not give importance to these
00:10:21discussions? How did you spend these five years on this issue?
00:10:33Look, Mr. Abdullah, during these five years, the majority was working,
00:10:36and the opposition was talking. I followed and followed
00:10:39episodes here, and I listened and watched this opposition
00:10:43كتكلم ما قدمت حتى شي بديل وانا مستعد معك
00:10:46اليوم ونتكلم معك بكل صراحه فهديك الملفات اللي هما كيناقشو
00:10:50فيها وحنا تعاملنا بحكمه وبرزانه وما
00:10:54خليناش الخطاب السياسي نزل لهذاك المستوى اللي كان كيتناقشو
00:10:57به واخا نمشيو من بملف
00:11:00ملف السي السي غيات وانتما الى حد الان
00:11:05النقاش ديالها غنمشيو للدعم ديال 13
00:11:10النطق 13 مليار
00:11:13درهم اللي حسنني الحكومه ناخدوها بهاد
00:11:17الجانب هذا ونعطيو هاد التفسير عطات
00:11:19دعم للمستوردين ديال الاغنام باش باش
00:11:23اللحوم ما تصعدش لواحد
00:11:33The government and Mr. Lekjaa probably confirmed this issue in Parliament,
00:11:36that the aim of the support did not reach the results that the
00:11:39government desired, and that it greatly
00:11:43affected the three constituent parties of the government.
00:11:47What is your share in this issue, Mr. Ghiyat,
00:11:50as a party? First, Professor Sabah, I am
00:11:54surprised to hear that there are no
00:11:5713 billion dirhams. We heard many figures. No,
00:12:01look, 13 number, Mr. Abdullah, I
00:12:05will give you Professor Sabah said it's hard to pronounce.
00:12:08I'll give you the real
00:12:10number. The budget support
00:12:14for this sheep import issue. Now you will correct the number.
00:12:17I will correct the number for you. I will give you the number
00:12:21that came out of the state budget, which is 13
00:12:25billion dirhams. That was brought by those factions of political
00:12:29speeches. As for what came out of the state
00:12:32budget, it is 430 dirhams over
00:12:35two years. 430 million dirhams. 430 million
00:12:39dirhams over two years. This
00:12:41is an official figure that you should look at. And in public media institutions,
00:12:45we should not pass on this error. 13
00:12:48billion. I will go back to this number. This
00:12:52is what people call the factory of lies.
00:12:55This is like the 17 billion dirhams that were mentioned in the fuel
00:12:59report. If you look at that report, there is no 17 billion. I will
00:13:03go back to you. That 17 billion dirhams that was mentioned in the fuel
00:13:06report was mentioned in the corridor by the committee chairman to the press, and no
00:13:10one checked to see if that
00:13:1317 billion dirhams
00:13:16existed. Where did these people get it from, Mr. Ghiyat? We have
00:13:19spent years, now since 2023, and we have been discussing this
00:13:2317 billion dirhams, and we discussed it with
00:13:31the government, not in parliament. No, it doesn't exist. I am giving
00:13:35you the official number, which is 430
00:13:38dirhams, 430 million, 430 million
00:13:41dirhams that went to support
00:13:44livestock imports. The government did it in good faith
00:13:48to whether this support reached its goal. I will go with you. Did it reach its
00:13:51goal? I will tell you. Did it contribute to controlling the level
00:13:55of prices, especially in the meat sector? Look, look.
00:13:59That 430
00:14:02million dirhams was intended to support the purchasing
00:14:05power of Moroccan citizens. The government acted
00:14:08in good faith. So far, the problem that occurred is that
00:14:11the operation was not affected. Legally, there were no
00:14:15violations. No.
00:14:18There were no violations, because if we had done the law
00:14:22and violated the law, we would say there were violations.
00:14:27the majority and from your party who benefited from
00:14:30this support. Who benefited, for example, from the National Rally
00:14:34Party? Especially parliamentarians. I
00:14:36asked, and what I know is that there was one, not only
00:14:40from the National Rally of Independents. There were people,
00:14:43but I think even discussing this
00:14:46is irrelevant. Although he is a parliamentarian,
00:14:49he is a citizen. There was a procedure he
00:14:52entered, and what matters to him is the results. The results
00:14:56were not achieved, and that person who benefited is no longer with us in the party. He left
00:14:59during the transfer window. He is no longer with us. The transfer window.
00:15:03Why were the results not achieved, Mr. Ghiyat? Because the operation was not
00:15:06effective. I will be honest with you.
00:15:09Today, the Ministry of Agriculture's role is to provide
00:15:12the product. But the one who should oversee marketing is
00:15:16the Ministry of Industry and Trade. I sat with the Minister of Trade, you heard
00:15:20him speak with you, and I told him, Mr. Minister, there is a problem. Mr. Mazour,
00:15:23Mr. Mazour, I told him, you said you have. He told me, I have.
00:15:27I told him, good. Why
00:15:30did you not fight? He told me, I need to change the law, and what
00:15:33we do as a government is to prepare the law, and we as parliamentarians pass it and protect
00:15:40the honorable and clean who work and protect the Moroccan citizen.
00:15:44Do you want me to tell you the truth? This issue of factions, Mr. Ghiyat, refers us to
00:15:47the issue of these words, "factions." In media, it's not what is known
00:15:51in media. Mr. Ghiyat, the Green Morocco Plan,
00:15:54yes, we are in the Green Generation, we are in the Green Generation. But
00:15:58today, many criticisms from here and there
00:16:02always from the opposition to you as a government
00:16:05and as the National Rally of Independents.
00:16:07In managing the Green Morocco Plan file, it created
00:16:11a partisan elite public
00:16:15program. Because the Rally
00:16:18had the portfolio of agriculture as a ministry, because the party
00:16:22had previous governments.
00:16:25This file has been completed. There are a number of
00:16:28plans. No one discusses the water plan.
00:16:32What was done in it? No one talks about why this Green Morocco
00:16:35plan is criticized by everyone.
00:16:37Because there are those who are targeted by it. This is one. Two, I will
00:16:41surprise you. That exploratory mission
00:16:44for the Green Morocco Plan, who requested it? I was the head
00:16:48of the team, and I sat with the Minister of Agriculture. I told him I have
00:16:52an embarrassment with my colleagues. Is there
00:16:55a problem for it to be? I don't have
00:16:58the majority.
00:17:01Where has its report reached? Listen, listen.
00:17:04Let me finish. I requested it.
00:17:37You, in media institutions
00:17:41the truth, but within
00:17:43the government,
00:17:46Mr. Madian took over the presidency of
00:17:49the committee. We held two or three meetings
00:17:52and prepared our working method. He lost his seat
00:17:56in the constituency of Al-Hoceima. We kept
00:17:58waiting for the Istiqlal Party to give the presidency. We kept waiting for him.
00:18:02We did not receive the name until recently when he gave it,
00:18:06and the mission has started, but Parliament stopped and the mission
00:18:09did not complete its work on this issue of the plan.
00:18:13There was no good communication on the topic in a big way.
00:18:16I can, I took data. When I brought it up, I knew you were going
00:18:20to bring it up. I knew you were going to bring it up. When I sat down, I saw
00:18:24what the goals we set
00:18:27for the Green Morocco Plan were, and I will give you other data. When I went to Africa
00:18:31and saw it, it was not to raise
00:18:34the agricultural GDP from 60 to 90 billion dirhams, to raise
00:18:38exports by 44 billion dirhams, to double the income of three
00:18:42million rural residents,
00:18:4520 to 50% of our water.
00:18:49We are living it, but I went to exports. Products consume water,
00:18:52Mr. What consumes water? Products consume water, meaning they require
00:18:56water for irrigation. So, Professor Sabah, we export 500
00:19:00million. All that is exported is 500 million cubic
00:19:04meters. How much vegetables?
00:19:07I mean, we import from abroad 9 billion cubic
00:19:11meters. We export, and we need to
00:19:14export because we need foreign currency for our economy, and we need that
00:19:17sector because your food security is
00:19:21you work on all aspects. You see, let me add the result.
00:19:24Exports tripled. 2.07
00:19:28million farmers benefited from support, guidance,
00:19:31and aggregation. We provided 2 billion
00:19:34dirhams. The one that is dominant in the country.
00:20:07Therefore, this must stop. And how will it stop? It is
00:20:10for us to come to you here and speak and say
00:20:13the truth. We welcome all actors.
00:20:16What did COVID
00:20:18do? The borders were
00:20:21closed. Three years of drought. Did we import anything?
00:20:25Nothing. That is the biggest
00:20:28evaluation of the Green Morocco Plan. That's it. Okay.
00:20:32Let's go, Mr. Ghiyat, because time
00:20:35is
00:20:38racing against it. Is the government majority currently in a phase
00:20:42of harmony or electoral
00:20:45early, this issue, because now every party
00:20:49sees the finish line or the end of the
00:20:52final meters. This is normal
00:20:56the country, meaning that there are some,
00:20:59for example, let's take the example of the Authenticity and Modernity Party.
00:21:04Rally at the party meeting, Najat Kokos, said
00:21:08Najwa said that
00:21:11the PAM has no relation to the "For Opportunity" project
00:21:14or the "Opportunity" program for employment. Meaning they disassociated themselves
00:21:17from this, meaning they do not take
00:21:23issue, this project that is under the Minister of Tourism,
00:21:26Mrs. Amour. I cannot respond to this.
00:21:30I think it's just sentiment.
00:21:34Professor Sabah, we were united in this government majority,
00:21:37and we must continue to defend this performance until the last moment.
00:21:40As for political outbidding, for us to start disclaiming responsibilities, I
00:21:44think this is irresponsible discourse. We have reached today, meaning
00:21:48time has brought us closer to entering the electoral period,
00:21:50Mr. Ghiyat. The three allies in the current
00:21:54majority, today there is a discussion
00:21:58among its three
00:22:00poles. I want to give you two points, Mr. Ghiyat, and you interact
00:22:03with them. The first is that we saw the Istiqlal Party talking
00:22:07about conflicts of interest and fighting
00:22:10corruption, in the political
00:22:14transfer window, those who joined political
00:22:18parties, and at their head is Mr. Fouzi Lekjaa, who joined the Authenticity
00:22:22and Modernity Party. And the answer came, from Dakhla, from the mouth of
00:22:26the National Rally of Independents in a speech by Mr.
00:22:29Aziz Akhannouch.
00:22:32Today, how does the National Rally of Independents view what is happening in the political
00:22:35arena, from movements, from transformations, and from
00:22:39speeches from its allies?
00:22:42I think this
00:22:45to elections seems to me to be a legitimate
00:22:48matter, but it needs a little
00:22:52political fitness. There needs to be
00:22:55political decency in this matter. This is what happened in Dakhla. I know what you are referring to.
00:22:59The speech of Mr. Aziz Akhannouch. Mr. Aziz Akhannouch is a responsible man,
00:23:02a statesman, and what he said, he said, and he knows what
00:23:07the transfer window. If the transfer window
00:23:10is done in politically acceptable ways, we have no problem.
00:23:14On the contrary, every citizen has every political actor has the right to choose
00:23:17the political expression he wants to go to,
00:23:20where he finds his ambition. But for there to be
00:23:23politically unacceptable practices in this transfer window, this is unreasonable.
00:23:27What is unacceptable, Mr. Ghiyat? I will not explain. Now, you only see
00:23:31the surface of the transfer window, this person went from here to here. But if you delved
00:23:34into the wiring and knew what happened, unacceptable things. You did not
00:23:38attract in this transfer window? No, we, on the contrary, whoever left
00:23:42surplus. But we worked throughout
00:23:46five years. We qualified our elite. We went
00:23:50to our constituencies and maintained what I told you
00:23:54earlier, that even the renewal among us is approximately
00:23:5738%. 38%. We focused
00:24:00on renewal, and at the same time, we preserved experience,
00:24:03because to be a parliamentarian, I mean, almost the same political elite, not
00:24:07the same, it's almost 40% that you have, 60% that we kept, and
00:24:1040% I want to clarify.
00:24:13Is 60% not a big number for the elite's
00:24:16renewal? Well, 40% renewal is not easy.
00:24:20Therefore, we must preserve that experience that we have built. I was
00:24:23the head of a team. We had an excellent team in all aspects.
00:24:27Let me finish. And these people who were trained, and you will abandon
00:24:33This accumulation, we must preserve it, because it is with it that we build. First,
00:24:36you have great confidence that this elite
00:24:41in Parliament is capable of confirming
00:24:44positive results for the party. We are confident, God willing,
00:24:48because these people have
00:24:53experience. Therefore, I believe that they will retain their seats,
00:24:56and even the new people we brought in, competition will be among the top three
00:25:00parties: the Rally, the Authenticity and Modernity Party, and Istiqlal?
00:25:03Or will it be able to? I think these are the parties, these are the parties that will create
00:25:07a surprise. A surprise.
00:25:11I don't think so. I don't think so. The current political landscape
00:25:15that I see, I don't think there will be any surprise.
00:25:18The premiership did not drain the party's political capital.
00:25:22On the contrary. Look, Mr. Abdullah,
00:25:25if there is any political injustice
00:25:29suffered by a party, it is the National Rally of Independents.
00:25:33Where is the injustice? I will tell you. I followed closely
00:25:36for these five years the performance of the government
00:25:39members in the party, and I followed our parliamentarians and our
00:25:43leadership. They work with sincerity, Mr. Abdullah.
00:25:47But there was, Professor Sabah,
00:25:51the party that Moroccans
00:25:54voted for in 2021, young and old,
00:25:57and gave it the first place and headed
00:26:00the government,
00:26:02will it deceive Moroccans? This is not right.
00:26:06Be assured, Mr. Abdullah, be assured, Professor Sabah, the work
00:26:10done by the party is a tremendous national work and deserves
00:26:14respect within the government, meaning that the other parties,
00:26:17I mean the Authenticity and Modernity Party and Istiqlal, are in
00:26:21a rank, meaning they performed their organizational role within
00:26:24the majority. They were good people who worked, but now
00:26:29the party. I am convinced that our
00:26:32party's performance was an excellent performance. I will go with you on these
00:26:36sectors that we took, education and health, which are the ones
00:26:39that have political costs. We chose them. We wanted them because
00:26:43the nation's interest comes above all else. And I will go into the details
00:26:47of these sectors because there are things that Moroccans need
00:26:50to know. But there was a period of
00:26:53strikes in the education and health sectors that created
00:26:56negative impressions for the government, for
00:27:00the National Rally
00:27:03good communication on this matter,
00:27:07neither education nor health.
00:27:10And the issue was related to social stakes more
00:27:14than it was about the honorary status
00:27:17of male and female teachers, and medical college students,
00:27:20specifically. Professor Sabah, I will get back to you. I will go with you
00:27:24to the education sector. Let's go slowly and increase
00:27:26the purchasing
00:27:29power. Moroccans need to know the facts accurately.
00:27:36The education sector. When we took over
00:27:40the sector, we found 130,000
00:27:44contract workers in the streets,
00:27:47in the streets. Moroccan children were not
00:27:50studying. Moroccan children were not
00:27:53studying. I headed the committee that
00:27:56prepared the report that was submitted
00:28:00to His Majesty the King. I am a member of the Higher Council.
00:28:35We will give you two
00:28:37indicators, two that Moroccans should know. The first
00:28:41indicator is in that
00:28:44PISA report for 2022.
00:28:47That is, the report was done during the period that passed.
00:28:53Moroccan children in fifth grade
00:28:57cannot form a meaningful sentence.
00:29:00And I'll give you more.
00:29:02a student in our baccalaureate level compared to
00:29:20Another report:
00:29:22a student in Turkey. A student in
00:29:25Turkey. This report shows that
00:29:29our student at the baccalaureate level has
00:29:32a level equivalent to the middle school level
00:29:36in Turkey. So are we going to keep
00:29:39watching? Therefore,
00:29:43sector, no matter the cost. The day
00:29:47we came, we promised Moroccans that when he joins, we will give him
00:29:51an increase of 2500 dirhams on his current salary.
00:29:54The cost was five billion dirhams. I sat with Mr. Chakib
00:29:57Benmoussa, and he told me, "I came to tell you
00:30:00that we were embarrassed. We included this in our electoral
00:30:04program and joined the government to implement this." I couldn't.
00:30:08The cost was five billion. He told me, "What about the passive ones
00:30:12here? How will I deal with them? I need to bring in contract workers."
00:30:16I need to fix all educational categories. All of them
00:30:18are affected. The cost reached 29 billion
00:30:21dirhams. Moroccans must know this.
00:30:25Today, the sector has found its path
00:30:28to success, and it is enough pride that the President of
