00:00:06of drought. There was a war, there was an earthquake,
00:00:09meaning in all these circumstances,
00:00:14We saw, I mean, in problem. My colleagues in the government took responsibility. The criterion for evaluating government work is two-fold:
00:00:16how it faced the crisis and how it implemented its government program.
00:00:22Moroccans are tired of deception and I will give some figures that are very

00:00:33Sabah, she said it is difficult to pronounce, it is also difficult to Among these 24 million, 10
00:00:36and a half million have guaranteed health insurance, meaning the state
00:00:39covers and pays for their expenses.
00:00:424 million Moroccan
00:00:45I see this political support for banks, and it was mentioned in families receive direct support every month. Every month they receive
00:00:49this, which wasn't the case before. 45 million
00:00:52dirhams was the cost of social dialogue, which tripled
00:00:57As for what came out of in the year 2021. I will give you,
00:01:00Mr. Ghayyat, the figure of 8 and a half million Moroccans who are
00:01:04outside health coverage. This
00:01:06figure is circulated by the opposition and the parliamentary
00:01:09opposition. I am talking to you
00:01:13sector is moving in with the figures of the constitutional institutions. The institution,
00:01:16I am not here. I am talking to you with official figures.
00:01:21work. Today, this sector is not The official figures are before us. Therefore, the 1000 dirhams
00:01:24that was a net increase for public sector employees. All public
00:01:27sector employees received a net increase of 1000 dirhams.
00:01:30340 billion dirhams in public investment.
00:01:34Brothers, sister Sabah,
00:01:36they the ones who will work to help these efforts on these figures
00:01:39means you are ready to defend them in the upcoming election campaign before
00:01:43us left from the Moroccan public opinion and before it. And we are not saying that we succeeded in
00:01:47that were set were to increase effort to reconsider their everything. We do not claim perfection. These
00:01:48structure, their performance, and their figures, who will adopt them? The National Rally of Independents alone, or with
00:01:52the Authenticity and Modernity Party and Al-Istiqlal? There are
00:01:56differing views on this issue
00:01:58residents, and to save The majority in the government, I mean, not in at the Authenticity and Modernity Party and at the Istiqlal Party. We take responsibility
00:02:04and at the same time maintaining as a government and we are ready to defend this as a party. I mean, this outcome is the outcome of
00:02:07the government. The government takes responsibility. The outcome of
00:02:09It should be in schools, in the government defends it. The government
00:02:11universities, in administrations, in defends it, or the parliamentarian
00:02:13factories, in companies. defends it? The outcome of the government defends it. The government
00:02:16that defends it, why should the parliament defend it?
00:02:20do we import The government is supposed to
00:02:22in vegetables? I mean, what we import from come and defend its figures and explain them. If indeed
00:02:24you form, you form the majority and speak on behalf of the government,
00:02:28Mr. Ghayyat, I mean these are figures. I speak on behalf of,
00:02:33in this? No, this first, a member of the political we entered into reforming bureau of the Rally of Independents party, and at the same time, it
00:02:37adopted these
00:02:39he enters, we will give him an increase to figures. Mr. Ghayyat, comment on these figures. The opposition has commented
00:02:42on them repeatedly here on more than one occasion.
00:02:46Ghayyat. I know this is But I mean, these figures that we are hearing today, perhaps we are hearing them for the first
00:02:49time. I mean, we would like
00:02:52that there are parties from you to react to the discussion and the discourse of the opposition,
00:02:56which says that today unemployment has gone from 13 to 9.
00:03:00How did this happen in this last year? I mean, this
00:03:04inflation has dropped to less than 0.5%. How was it handled
00:03:07in this last year, while the
00:03:10opposition's figures are figures that all say
00:03:13that the government has not fulfilled its commitments included in
00:03:16the government program?
00:03:19I mean, it criticizes a number
00:03:21belittling is prevalent in of issues that we will return to one by one throughout these
00:03:24five years. Mr. Abdullah, I am talking to you with figures from
00:03:28constitutional institutions.
00:03:31What does the opposition say? I am telling you today, if the HCP
00:03:34tells you this is what's available and that's what's available, the Planning Commission, these
00:03:38are indeed figures
00:03:41party for five years. issued by a constitutional institution,
00:03:42in speaking but now they are going to stir up independent. No, no, just
00:03:45how did it go from 13 to 9? I mean, a period of time,
00:03:48I mean, we are talking about a figure,
00:03:53I mean, of two sections. This shows that the national economy
00:03:56is a recovering economy, and all the reforms that have been
00:04:00carried out today have begun to yield this. This means that you will
00:04:03enter the next phase in explaining the political or electoral discourse with these figures,
00:04:07with these new figures announced
00:04:09and good. On the contrary, this is healthy in by the High Commission for Planning. You don't think,
00:04:13for example, Abdullah, that the opposition has figures, has
00:04:17Its national council president other interpretations, and has down the laws for this a point of view regarding these figures? No,
00:04:21Sabah, a great effort was made in the opposition has, I mean, other sources. I think
00:04:24we all resort to the figures given to us by constitutional
00:04:27institutions, even though there was
00:04:30you asked me about the party. I told you about a kind of tension between the institution
00:04:32and the government during the time of Mr. Halimi, when he was
00:04:36responsibility for this specific issue, this president of this institution. Now, I am not going to get into that discussion with you. I
00:04:41that 90% of elite that benefits from this am telling you today that these are figures. Do we trust
00:04:43shown a desire constitutional institutions or do we not? Today, these
00:04:46figures have been released, and they
00:04:49billion, which is difficult to are figures that are based on a scientific
00:04:52methodology. We even saw how the report was written. So, these
00:04:56figures, we are proud of them and we cherish them. You talked
00:05:01about unemployment. We can also talk about this
00:05:04of Independents. First, there was not unemployment problem. We can elaborate on it.
00:05:05level. But in the Of course, we will come to it. Look, this
00:05:08issue of unemployment has many factors.
00:05:11In the field of employment, there are three
00:05:14stakeholders: there is the company,
00:05:17I will tell you why there is change, there is the company,
00:05:21there are the university and vocational
00:05:24training institutions, and there are intermediary institutions.
00:05:28Today, the effort that the government made with
00:05:31the company, the investment charter law,
00:05:36years. The government released it, and I was
00:05:39the head of the parliamentary group. How we fought to get all
00:05:43the laws of that charter out. The procedures,
00:05:46almost every month, a set of simplified procedures
00:05:49is released so that the company can operate. We have one
00:05:53problem in the issue of
00:05:57the speech of His Majesty the King. Therefore, banks must
00:05:59play their role in supporting the national
00:06:03economy. The second point, I will complete it for you. We come to
00:06:06the training institutions, whether at the level of
00:06:09vocational training or at the university level. They must make an effort
00:06:13to bridge the gap between the demand in the labor
00:06:16market and the training they provide. And if we go
00:06:20to the intermediary institutions, there is a problem. No, the vocational
00:06:23training institution, today, I see that this
00:06:25this direction. The issue today is that its
00:06:29role is crucial to support the government in its
00:06:33playing its role. I will continue with
00:06:36the professor. I will go to the intermediary institutions, which
00:06:40are the ANAPEC. Today, we have employment consultants,
00:06:44approximately between 400 and 600 consultants. Are
00:06:48this sector move forward? I don't think so. Therefore, neither the vocational
00:06:52training sector nor the intermediary sector
00:06:56needs to make an
00:07:01work. Well, since you brought up vocational training, there is that figure
00:07:05of three, between 15 and 24 years old, of
00:07:09Moroccans who are neither studying nor working. I mean, there is no
00:07:12framework that we can put in place for
00:07:15this category, which is the category that
00:07:18can be productive.
00:07:26I mean, how do you see this category, from
00:07:2915 to 24 years old, who are neither studying nor working?
00:07:32Indeed, we cannot leave this segment aside.
00:07:36We must work on it, and we saw that this issue of Ceuta is part of
00:07:39these people. Therefore, these public
00:07:43institutions must fulfill their duty. Therefore,
00:07:46they are vocational training institutions
00:07:50and intermediary institutions that mediate between the employing
00:07:53sectors and the institutions of a government sector with you in the government, Mr.
00:07:58the diagnosis of Mr. Ghayyat. First, he is throwing the ball into
00:08:01the court of a government sector from another party, your ally,
00:08:05Abdullah. I am discussing with you as a Moroccan
00:08:08citizen and a political actor, a member of the political bureau. I
00:08:11have nothing against it. On the contrary, anything that gets fixed
00:08:14gets fixed for the country. On the contrary, let's
00:08:17look at five years with a perspective, I mean, let's look a little
00:08:20in the rearview mirror. Five years. We are now
00:08:24at the finish line. I mean, five years ago, there were
00:08:28big political discussions regarding
00:08:31the current majority. We started by using
00:08:34money in elections. Then we came to the issue of abuse of power. Then
00:08:38a number of issues emerged, including conflicts of interest,
00:08:41corruption, and many
00:08:45criticisms that the opposition directed at you. But on the other hand,
00:08:49we saw the majority somewhat reserved
00:08:54out, interacting, and confronting what the opposition
00:08:58criticizes in these matters that happened in these five
00:09:01years. Was
00:09:04the majority well aware?
00:09:08Did you not give importance to these
00:09:11discussions? I mean, how did you spend these five
00:09:14years? The issues, and some of them we will talk about
00:09:18in detail. No problem. Look, Mr. Abd
00:09:20Allah, in this five-year period,
00:09:24the majority was working.
00:09:27The opposition was talking. I followed and I followed
00:09:30your episodes and I listened and I saw this
00:09:33opposition talking, but it didn't present any alternative. And I am ready
00:09:37with you today to talk to you with all frankness about those issues that they
00:09:41are discussing, and we dealt with them wisely and soberly, and we
00:09:44did not let the political discourse descend to that level they were discussing
00:09:48with. Okay. Let's go through the issues
00:09:51one by one, Mr. Ghayyat, and you have, until now,
00:09:56to discuss them. Let's go to the support of 13
00:10:01pronounce, 13 billion dirhams,
00:10:04which the government improved. Let's take it from this aspect
00:10:08and give this explanation. It provided support to importers
00:10:12of sheep so that meat prices would not reach an exorbitant
00:10:17end, we are shocked that the results were not
00:10:21what the government hoped for. And Mr. Lekjaa
00:10:24perhaps the parliament confirmed this
00:10:28the support did not reach the results that the government
00:10:31desired. And this significantly
00:10:34affected the parties forming the government,
00:10:37all three of them. What is your share of this issue, Mr. Ghayyat,
00:10:41as a party? First, Professor Sabah, I am
00:10:44surprised when I hear that 13 billion
00:10:48dirhams is non-existent. It is non-existent. We heard many figures. No,
00:10:51look, I
00:10:54figure, Abdullah. I am giving you,
00:10:58calculate. It is difficult to calculate. I will give you the real
00:11:01figure. The budget support
00:11:05for the import of sheep. Now you
00:11:08will correct the figure. I will correct the figure for you. I am giving you the figure that
00:11:12came out of the state budget. That 13
00:11:16billion dirhams, they got it from the fragmented
00:11:19political discourses.
00:11:22the state budget, it is 400
00:11:28430 million dirhams over two years. This
00:11:32is an official figure that you should see in a public media institution.
00:11:36We shouldn't be passing this 13 billion.
00:11:39I
00:11:42call it fabrication.
00:11:46This is like the 17 billion dirhams they said about the fuel report.
00:11:50If you go into that report, there is no 17 billion. I will go back.
00:11:53I will go back to you. That 17 billion dirhams that was mentioned in the fuel
00:11:57report was mentioned in the corridors. The committee chairman said it to the press and it
00:12:00remained. No one checked
00:12:04if that 17 billion dirhams
00:12:06existed. It doesn't exist. It doesn't exist. Where did these people get it from, Mr. Ghayyat? We have
00:12:10spent years now since 2023, and we have been discussing this
00:12:1317 billion dirhams, and we discussed it with 17 or 13. 17 billion
00:12:17dirhams. I can tell you figures larger than 17 billion
00:12:20dirhams.
00:12:23the parliamentarians. I am giving you the official
00:12:26figure. It is 430 dirhams,
00:12:30430 million, 430 million dirhams that
00:12:33went to support livestock imports. And the government
00:12:37did it with good intentions. Did this support work? I
00:12:40will go with you. Did it reach its goal? I will tell you. Did it
00:12:44help us control the price level, especially in the meat
00:12:48sector? Look, look, that
00:12:50430
00:12:53million dirhams was for supporting the purchasing power of
00:12:57Moroccan citizens. The government acted
00:12:59in good faith. Up until now, this problem that occurred is that
00:13:02that operation was not affected. It was not affected legally, or
00:13:06were there violations?
00:13:09If there were no violations, because if we had enacted
00:13:12the law and exceeded the law, we would say there were violations. The opposition, people say
00:13:17the majority and from your party
00:13:20who benefited from this
00:13:22support. Who specifically?
00:13:28I asked those I knew, there was one who was not
00:13:31only from the National Rally of Independents. There were people,
00:13:34but this, I think, even the discussion about this is
00:13:38just this. Even a parliamentarian
00:13:42is a citizen. There was a procedure, what matters is
00:13:45the results. The results did not reach, and that person who benefited is no longer
00:13:48with us in the party. He left. I mean, he is no longer
00:13:52with us. Why didn't the results reach? Because
00:13:56the operation was not effective. I will be honest with you.
00:13:59Today, the Ministry of Agriculture's role is to provide
00:14:03the product. But the one who should oversee marketing is
00:14:07the Ministry of Trade and Industry. I sat with the Minister of Trade.
00:14:10You heard him talking to you, and I told him, Mr. Minister, there is a problem. Mr.
00:14:14Mezzour, Mr. Mezzour, I told him, did you say
00:14:17you had it? He said I had it. I told him, good.
00:14:21Why? Why didn't you fight it? He said I need to change the law. And what
00:14:25are we going to do? The government will prepare the law, and we as a parliament will pass it and fight this,
00:14:28and protect Morocco. We will protect that honest, clean farmer who
00:14:32works, and we will protect the Moroccan citizen. Do you want us to tell the truth?
00:14:35This issue of fragmented political discourse, Mr. Ghayyat, leads us to the issue of these words.
00:14:39The word "fragmented" is a bit media-wise, what is known
00:14:41media-wise, Mr. Ghayyat, the Green Morocco Plan.
00:14:45Yes, we are in the Green Generation. We made progress in the Green Generation, but
00:14:49today there are many criticisms from here and there,
00:14:53always from the opposition to you, as
00:14:55a government and as the National Rally of Independents, in managing the issue
00:14:59of the Green Morocco Plan, and that it created a partisan
00:15:04public program. Because
00:15:08the Rally had the portfolio of agriculture
00:15:11and the ministry because the party was the previous
00:15:14one. This issue
00:15:18has been resolved. There are many plans. No one
00:15:21discusses the water plan. What was done in it? No one talks
00:15:25about why this Green Morocco Plan has been so criticized. Because
00:15:29there are those who are targeted in it. This is one thing. Two, I will
00:15:32surprise you. That exploratory mission
00:15:35of the Green Morocco Plan. Who requested it? I
00:15:39was the head of the team, and I sat with the Minister of Agriculture and told him that I had
00:15:42a problem with my colleagues. Is there a problem
00:15:46with it? He told me I have no
00:15:49the majority, in the majority, we were watching. Where did
00:15:52its report reach? Listen.
00:15:55Let me finish. I am the one who requested that mission.
00:15:59When I told him, "Is this a problem for you if we do it?" He told me, "I have no problem.
00:16:04minister told us, "Do your work." I am the one who requested it. Even the letter
00:16:08was written in my office. And we submitted it, and
00:16:11the presidency was given to the Istiqlal Party, Mr. Madiyen,
00:16:14and the rapporteurship
00:16:16was taken by the Justice and Development Party, Mr. Sikr. And I was the deputy. I
00:16:20was the head of the team and I took the deputy position just so that everything would be structured so that the truth
00:16:24would reach Moroccans as it is. We shouldn't exaggerate
00:16:27about this. You in media institutions like this should
00:16:30also go and search for the truth. But there is communication
00:16:34within the government. The truth,
00:16:38or Mr. Madiyen, the presidency of the committee. We had two
00:16:42or three meetings. We prepared our working
00:16:45method. His seat was lost. He lost the district of
00:16:48Al Hoceima. We kept waiting. The Istiqlal Party, which was given
00:16:51the presidency, we kept waiting for it. We did not receive the name until
00:16:54recently when it was given. And the mission has started, but
00:16:58the parliament stopped and did not complete its mission. Its work
00:17:02on this issue of the Morocco plan was not well
00:17:05communicated. I can, I took data. When I
00:17:09brought it, I knew you were going to bring it up. I knew you were going to bring it up.
00:17:13I brought. When I sat down, I saw what the goals were that
00:17:16we set. The Green Morocco Plan, and I will give you
00:17:20other data. When I went to Africa and saw it, the goals
00:17:25the agricultural GDP from 60 to 90 billion dirhams, to increase
00:17:29exports by 44 billion dirhams, to double the income of three
00:17:33million rural
00:17:36water by 20 to 50% of irrigation water.
00:17:40We are living through this, but it went to exports. Products consume
00:17:43water. What consumes water? Products consume
00:17:47water, meaning they require water for irrigation. I mean, Professor Sabah, we export
00:17:50500 million. All of this that is exported is 500
00:17:53million cubic meters. How much
00:17:59abroad is 9 billion cubic meters. What
00:18:03do we export? And we must export because we need foreign currency
00:18:07and we need that sector because your food
00:18:10security is being worked on from all aspects.
00:18:13And I will add that the result is that exports tripled.
00:18:17Two million,
00:18:207 farmers benefited from support, from
00:18:24training, and from the aggregation of agricultural land. We saved
00:18:27two billion cubic meters of irrigation water,
00:18:30and the agricultural GDP rose to
00:18:32118 billion
00:18:35dirhams. It comes
00:18:54out that the discourse of despair and
00:18:59the country. Therefore, this must stop, and how will it stop?
00:19:02It will stop by us coming here and speaking the truth, because
00:19:06it is a problem. We welcome it. What
00:19:09about COVID? The borders were
00:19:12closed. Three years of drought. Did we import anything?
00:19:16Nothing. That is the biggest
00:19:19evaluation of the Green Moroccan Plan. That's it. Okay.
00:19:23We will go, Mr. Ghayyat, because time
00:19:26is
00:19:29racing against us. Is the governmental majority
00:19:32currently in a phase of harmony or electoral competition? I think it started
00:19:36early, this issue, because now every party
00:19:40sees the finish line or the end
00:19:43of the last meters. This is normal
00:19:47the country. Meaning that there are some, for example,
00:19:50let's give an example of the Authenticity and Modernity Party.
00:19:55at the party's gathering, Najat Kobous, said
00:19:59Najwa said that
00:20:02the PAM has no connection
00:20:05to the "Forsa" project or the "Forsa" employment program.
00:20:08I mean, they disavowed this. I mean, they don't take
00:20:14issue which is the project led by the Minister of Tourism,
00:20:17Mrs. Ammor. I cannot respond to this. I think
00:20:21it's just wrong. Listen, Mrs. Sabah,
00:20:24we were together in this government majority,
00:20:28and we must continue to defend this record until the last moment. As for
00:20:32political outbidding, for us to start disavowing responsibilities, that's not reasonable. I think
00:20:35this is irresponsible rhetoric. We have reached
00:20:38today, I mean, time has brought us closer to the election period,
00:20:41Mr. Ghayyat. The three allies in the current
00:20:45majority, today there is a discussion,
00:20:48I mean, between its three poles.
00:20:52I want to give you two points, Mr. Ghayyat, and interact with me on them.
00:20:55The first, I mean, we saw the Istiqlal Party talking about
00:20:59conflicts of interest and fighting corruption.
00:21:04the political market, I mean,
00:21:07those who joined political parties, and at their head
00:21:11was Mr. Fouzi Lekjaa, who joined the Authenticity and Modernity Party.
00:21:15And the answer came, I am from Dakhla, on the tongue of the National Rally of Independents in
00:21:18a campaign speech by Mr. Aziz Akhannouch.
00:21:22Today, how does the National Rally of Independents
00:21:26view what is circulating in the political arena, from movements, from
00:21:30transformations, and from speeches from
00:21:33its allies?
00:21:35and electoral competition
00:21:39as a legitimate matter, but it needs a little
00:21:42bit of decorum, a little bit of political
00:21:46elegance in this. This is what happened in Dakhla. I know what you are
00:21:50referring to. The speech of Mr. Aziz Akhannouch. Aziz Akhannouch is a responsible man, a man
00:21:53of state, and what he said, he said it knowing what he was saying.
00:21:57He talked about the political market. If the political market
00:22:01is done in politically acceptable ways, we have no problem.
00:22:04On the contrary, every citizen, every political actor has the right to choose
00:22:08the political expression they want to go for and feel comfortable with and find their aspirations
00:22:12there. But for there to be unacceptable practices
00:22:16politically in this center, and this is not reasonable. What is unacceptable, Mr. Ghayyat? I am not going to.
00:22:20Look, now you see the political market as just a screen. This one moved from here
00:22:23to here. But if you went in and did the wiring and knew what was happening,
00:22:27unacceptable things. You didn't receive any in this political market?
00:22:30No, we, on the contrary, whoever left
00:22:33the surplus. As for us, we worked throughout
00:22:37five years. We qualified our elite. We went
00:22:40to our districts and we maintained it. I talked to you
00:22:44earlier that even renewal, we have approximately
00:22:4838, 38%.
00:22:50We focused on renewal
00:22:54experience, because to be a parliamentarian, I mean, almost the same political elite,
00:22:57not exactly the same. Almost 40% we have. We kept 60% and
00:23:0040%. Let me clarify. 60%
00:23:04is not a big number for renewing elites.
00:23:07Well, 40% renewal is not easy.
00:23:10Therefore, we, that experience
00:23:13that we had, I was the head of the team. We had an excellent
00:23:16team in all aspects. Let me finish. And these people
00:23:20were trained. Are you going to abandon them
00:23:23accumulation, we must preserve it because that's how we build. First, do you have
00:23:27great confidence that this elite that will run for
00:23:31parliament, I mean, is capable of
00:23:35confirming positive results for the party? We are confident, God
00:23:38willing, because these people have popular support
00:23:41and are in constant communication with citizens. Therefore, I think
00:23:45that they will maintain their seats, and even the new people
00:23:48we brought in.
00:24:13No, on the contrary, look, Mr. Abd
00:24:16Allah, if there is any political
00:24:20party that has been wronged today, it is the National Rally of Independents. Where
00:24:24is the injustice? I will tell you. I followed
00:24:27the performance of the government members from the
00:24:31I followed our parliamentarians and our leaders.
00:24:35They work honestly, Mr. Abdullah. But
00:24:38it was, Sabah, for God's sake, this
00:24:43party that in 2021, Moroccans voted for
00:24:47it with their elders and youth.
00:24:50And they gave it first place and it headed the government. Will it
00:24:53deceive Moroccans? This is not right.
00:24:57Be sure, Mr. Abdullah, be sure, Sabah, the work
00:25:01done by the party is a tremendous work, a national work, and it deserves
00:25:04respect within the government. Meaning that the other parties,
00:25:08I mean the Authenticity and Modernity Party and the Istiqlal
00:25:11Party, come in a rank, meaning they performed
00:25:14their role properly in the framework of the majority. They were good
00:25:17people who worked, but now
00:25:20the party. I am convinced that the performance of
00:25:23our party was an outstanding performance. I will go with you to these
00:25:27sectors that we took, education and health, which is
00:25:30the one that has a political cost. We chose them. We wanted
00:25:34to, because the national interest remains above all else. And I will go into the details of
00:25:38these sectors, because there are things that Moroccans need
00:25:41to know. But there was a period of
00:25:44strikes in the education sector and the health sector that left
00:25:47a, I mean, an unfavorable impression. For the government, for
00:25:51the National Rally
00:25:54good communication on
00:25:57this issue, neither in education nor in health.
00:26:00And the issue was related to social bets more
00:26:04than they are bets on the status of
00:26:07male and female teachers and
00:26:09medical students specifically. Professor
00:26:13Sabah, I will get back to you. I will go to the education sector. Let's go slowly and increase
00:26:17the purchasing power of Moroccans. Moroccans
00:26:20know the facts as they are. I told you,
00:26:24books. Today we need to tell them. Let's take the education
00:26:27sector. The education sector, on the day we took
00:26:31over the sector,
00:26:33we found 130 thousand contract workers
00:26:37on the streets. On the streets. Moroccan children
00:26:41were not studying. Moroccan children were not
00:26:44studying. I was the head of the committee that
00:26:47prepared the report that
00:26:50was submitted to His Majesty the King. I am a member of the Supreme Council for Education
00:26:53and Training, and I headed the committee and prepared the report that was submitted to His Majesty
00:26:57the King. And I had the opportunity to review
00:27:00all the reports that were written. The sector from international
00:27:04institutions confirmed success.
00:27:07I went up
00:27:09and shook the file. I went to the president, Mr. Habib
00:27:12El Malki, may God heal him. I told him, Mr. Habib, this is
00:27:16what
00:27:19he said when he was the Minister of Education. He told me that this is what God has given. He said,
00:27:22Oh, what I ask of you is to
00:27:25continue this reform that you have brought. I will give you two
00:27:28indicators, two, and the Moroccans must know them. The indicator
00:27:33in that PISA report of
00:27:372022, meaning the report was done for the past period,
00:27:41almost 63% of Moroccan
00:27:44children in the fifth grade don't know
00:27:48how to form a meaningful sentence.
00:27:51I'll add to that the school dropout rate, which is a large percentage of school dropouts
00:27:55we have. Listen, professor, we have 12,000 educational
00:27:58institutions, 5,000 of which are not connected to the internet.
00:28:06I'll give you another report.
00:28:09A student we have at the baccalaureate level
00:28:13compared to a student in Turkey. A student in
00:28:16Turkey, meaning the report shows that
00:28:20our student at the baccalaureate level, their
00:28:23level is the level of the middle
00:28:26school in Turkey. So, are we going to keep
00:28:30watching? Therefore,
00:28:34this sector, no matter what the cost. The day we came,
00:28:38we promised Moroccans that when
00:28:42his current salary of 2500 dirhams. The cost was five
00:28:46billion dirhams. I sat with Mr. Chakib Benmoussa, and he told me I came
00:28:49because we were in an embarrassing situation. We
00:28:53included it in our electoral program and entered the government to implement
00:28:57this. He told me I can't. The cost was five billion. He told me, what
00:29:01about those
00:29:07who are already there? How am I going to deal with them? I need to bring in contract workers. I need to reform all educational categories. All of them are affected.
00:29:10The cost reached 29 billion dirhams. Moroccans
00:29:14need to know this. Today, the sector
00:29:17has reached its peak of success, and it is enough
00:29:20for us to be proud that the President of France in Ghana
00:29:24stood before the Prime Minister and before the African community and told them,
00:29:27"You can be proud of what Morocco is doing." And this is a head of state
00:29:31who will not speak about, about. Let me add
00:29:34so we can move to other topics, because we no longer have this issue
00:29:38of just this. If we don't tell
00:29:42Moroccans today, when will we tell them? They need to know. It is very
00:29:44important. It was possible only for the
00:29:47health sector to give us some data. The health sector
00:29:51because it is the backbone of the discussion and the backbone
00:29:54of society. The health sector, everyone was
00:29:58saying Ramed, Ramed, Ramed. It didn't succeed.
00:30:01You created a Ramed system and you didn't fund it.
00:30:05How will this system survive? There were no
00:30:08appointments for nine months, seven months, a year, until the person died.
00:30:11This was not the case. Today, we brought
00:30:14a system. Do you know how much time we spent just to lay
00:30:18health protection project? Professor
00:30:24the country, and we must acknowledge it. We must
00:30:27acknowledge that today the Moroccan citizen
00:30:31has the right. If he wants to go to a public
00:30:35hospital, he goes. If he wants to go to a private hospital, he goes. Although there are
00:30:39some reservations that I heard from you
00:30:43the budget that goes to health goes to the private
00:30:47sector. That's true, but I now have a sick public
00:30:50sector, and I have an existing
00:30:54private sector. This Moroccan is sick. Should I tell him to stay
00:30:58sick until I finish?
