00:00:03as the sole
00:00:05the party won a seat in the and only basis, and also it renewed its withdrawal and recognition
00:00:08and confirmation of its position
00:00:11will have a role in to withdraw recognition of this
00:00:13development. And we hope that separatist entity. The Latin American region, which was a stronghold and a fortress for this
00:00:17separatist proposal, formed a
00:00:19won seats in the first round through fertile ground where Moroccan diplomacy played a fundamental role in dismantling the
00:00:232016 على
00:00:24conference, which runs until separatist proposal, especially through the diplomatic stances of many countries, and at
00:00:27the forefront is Panama, which and Peru, which
00:00:31affirmed its support for the position of the Kingdom of Morocco, but went
00:00:35youth, in the further by announcing the opening of a consulate in the city of Dakhla,
00:00:38in addition to the position of Bolivia, which
00:00:41will also open a trade office in the southern province, in addition to the position of
00:00:45the presence of 107 women Panama, which is a non-permanent member of political actors in the Security Council, which also
00:00:47in Parliament. What does this confirmed, along with Chile,
00:00:49number say about women's chances in its support for the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco
00:00:52and for the self-governance initiative under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco, in addition to what
00:00:56diplomacy has achieved in breaking through Colombia's position by
00:01:00freezing its recognition of the separatist entity and supporting the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco, knowing that
00:01:04Colombia will be a non-permanent member of the Security Council, and this
00:01:08will have an impact on Security Council resolutions related to the
00:01:11Moroccan Sahara file. Dr. Ghilani, in your opinion, how
00:01:15did Moroccan diplomacy continue its work and its defense of the
00:01:18Palestinian cause in the UN forum in accordance with the constants
00:01:22I return again to my guest in of Moroccan-Palestinian
00:01:23solidarity?
00:01:27107 women in Indeed, as stated in
00:01:30the speech of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom
00:01:34of Morocco, on the sidelines of the meeting of member states of
00:01:37the Organization of Islamic Cooperation at the United Nations General Assembly, which
00:01:41confirms the principles of the foreign policy of the Kingdom
00:01:44of Morocco in its relations with the Palestinian cause, as
00:01:48which always experiences high the Kingdom of Morocco considers the Palestinian cause a primary
00:01:51priority in the foreign policy of the Kingdom and
00:01:54is no less important than the issue of national unity and the territory of the Kingdom of Morocco.
00:01:58And this policy is based, first of all, on
00:02:01supporting
00:02:03To discuss this the historical and legal rights of the brotherly Palestinian people to
00:02:06establish a Palestinian state on the borders of June
00:02:091967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
00:02:13Secondly, on the option of peace as a strategic option.
00:02:16Thirdly, on the sustainability of the ceasefire
00:02:19and the flow of humanitarian aid and organized support in this
00:02:23regard. Fourthly, at the level of supporting the role of the
00:02:27Palestinian National Authority and reforming its internal institutions. Fifthly,
00:02:32Article 47 of on the involvement of the Kingdom of Morocco in the momentum of
00:02:34international initiatives, especially the international peace plan initiative
00:02:38which Morocco considers itself an active state in this regard, and which
00:02:41has international legal legitimacy as
00:02:45a plan approved by the Security Council under Resolution 28
00:02:48033 for the year
00:02:51seats at 2025. Dr. Ghilani, the Royal Atlantic Initiative was an activity of
00:02:54Moroccan diplomacy in the United Nations. How does the international
00:02:58initiative announced by the King aim to enable
00:03:01Sahel countries to access the Atlantic Ocean? How does
00:03:04it reinforce the African dimension of South-South cooperation policy
00:03:08and the win-win partnership
00:03:10terms, and therefore more advocated by His Majesty
00:03:13areas and villages were present the King?
00:03:17Indeed, my lady, since His Majesty ascended the throne of his
00:03:20glorious ancestors, the Kingdom of Morocco
00:03:23has become an active African policy. Rather, the Kingdom
00:03:27of Morocco has an essential and pioneering role at the diplomatic,
00:03:31political, military,
00:03:33It is controlled by the number, and it is controlled by the ideology security, economic and developmental levels. We noted that after His Majesty took
00:03:39references between the parties office, more than 1400 agreements were signed in various
00:03:42areas of cooperation, in addition to His Majesty making
00:03:4653 visits to African countries, in addition to His Majesty
00:03:49launching many initiatives,
00:03:51the party won seats in and this falls within the African
00:03:54policy of the Kingdom of Morocco which is based on
00:03:57trust in the African continent, on enabling
00:04:00African countries to find African solutions to African
00:04:04problems and challenges, on solidarity and cooperation by
00:04:07making Morocco's advanced experience in many fields available to
00:04:12among youth, as unemployment in African countries, and also on launching strategic
00:04:14initiatives, among which, my lady, is the initiative to facilitate access for Sahel
00:04:18countries to the Atlantic Ocean, which
00:04:21the party won a seat in the His Majesty launched in 2023, and it is an important initiative
00:04:25that reflects Morocco's integrated vision for Africa, which is not
00:04:29only based on military or security solutions, but
00:04:32also economic solutions
00:04:34Eddahab region it reached about 61%, and also transforming the challenges
00:04:37The evolution of participation rates in that hinder the development of these
00:04:40African countries or this region into a strategic
00:04:42opportunity
00:04:46voted region in the country, and this indicates to advance these countries, especially since these countries and the Confederation
00:04:50of Sahel States praised, in their meeting with the Kingdom
00:04:53of Morocco in the General Assembly,
00:04:56is the His Majesty for his role in supporting and upholding and declared their firm adherence
00:05:13To the United Arab Emirates, where Morocco was elected, represented by Ambassador
00:05:16Azzedine Farhan, Permanent Representative of the Kingdom to the international organization in Vienna, as Vice-President
00:05:20of the Conference on behalf of the African Groups, at the opening of the
00:05:2415th United Nations Conference on Crime Prevention
00:05:26and Criminal Justice today in Abu Dhabi, with the participation of ministers,
00:05:30government officials, experts and academics from
00:05:34119 countries. During this
00:05:36the first of October, the remaining members of the Conference
00:05:40Bureau, other than the President, were elected.
00:05:55We open the file of the 2026 elections.
00:05:58Features of a new map for the House of Representatives after distributing
00:06:02395 seats among the various parties. A map
00:06:06highlights the Al-Asala Wal-Maasirah party leading with 97
00:06:10seats, followed by the National Rally of Independents.
00:06:23A new map for the Moroccan political scene revealed by the
00:06:27ballot boxes. The final results of the legislative
00:06:30elections, according to the Ministry of Interior, indicate that
00:06:34the Authenticity and Modernity party topped the polls with
00:06:3797 seats, followed by the National Rally
00:06:41of Independents with 60 seats, then the Istiqlal party
00:06:44with 65 seats, passing through the Justice
00:06:47and Development party with 54 seats, and the Popular
00:06:51Movement party with 29 seats, and the Socialist
00:06:54Union of Popular Forces with 26 seats, then
00:06:57the Party of Progress and
00:07:00Socialism with 19 seats, while the Constitutional
00:07:03Union won 17 seats.
00:07:07As for the Democratic and Social Movement,
00:07:09it won eight seats, while the Left
00:07:12Alliance also won eight seats,
00:07:16while the Democratic Forces Front won two
00:07:20seats. The Equity Party also won two
00:07:23seats, while the New Democrats party
00:07:26won one seat, and one
00:07:29seat also for the Democratic Unity Party. After the announcement
00:07:33of the results, His Majesty the King is expected to appoint
00:07:37the head of government from the party that topped the results of
00:07:40the legislative elections, in accordance with the provisions of
00:07:44the Constitution. The results put forward different scenarios
00:07:48for the identity of the next government coalition, at a time when the
00:07:51Authenticity and Modernity party needs more than 100 seats
00:07:55to reach the legal quorum required to form the government
00:07:59majority, which is 198
00:08:03least. Given the results obtained,
00:08:06it is as if we are
00:08:10facing the former triple experience.
00:08:13But with a different arrangement and with changed
00:08:16relations, the possibility of an alliance may be quadruple or
00:08:19quintuple, while taking into account the majorities or taking
00:08:23into account the exact numbers obtained in the framework of distributing the quota, meaning the ministerial
00:08:27portfolios between the upcoming government majority.
00:08:30It is open to many possibilities. The Moroccan street,
00:08:34for its part, looks forward to the political parties that
00:08:38will form the next government fulfilling their
00:08:40electoral promises. Increasing purchasing power, creating job
00:08:44opportunities, and raising wages are the main expectations
00:08:47of citizens. Among the most important of our expectations from the new
00:08:51government is that the promises become tangible on the ground
00:08:54and we live them in our daily lives. First of all, the
00:08:57government must work to improve purchasing power
00:09:01by raising wages. Why not? We heard the other day talk that the minimum wage
00:09:05will be higher God willing, and we will raise
00:09:09our aspirations, because as we know, rent
00:09:12and the cost of living and our daily needs
00:09:15are increasing. So we need wages to be high. And what we expect from the government today
00:09:19is, first of all, attention to youth and creating job opportunities, especially
00:09:24the past year ranged between 13 and
00:09:2710%. And in order
00:09:31to create these job opportunities, more attention must be paid
00:09:34to the fields of education and health, of course. I would like to talk about
00:09:38the issue of sovereignty in light of these
00:09:41fluctuating energy markets. We see now that gasoline
00:09:44has reached a price of 15 dirhams. Here, we call
00:09:47for accelerating the energy transition in Morocco. We are
00:09:51proud that the Laayoune region is at the national
00:09:54level as the most
00:09:58the awareness of citizens at the level of the southern provinces in their
00:10:02representation of the true democracy that the male and female voters
00:10:05exercised on polling day. And of course, as
00:10:08a consumer protection association and
00:10:12this new government will meet the aspirations
00:10:15of citizens, especially vulnerable groups, regarding
00:10:18prices. Economic files
00:10:23the government coalition. Files that await the imprint
00:10:27of the government majority that presented different
00:10:30visions in its electoral programs.
00:10:33I believe today that the parties expected to form the next
00:10:37government coalition are, first of all, bound by their electoral program, which
00:10:40includes a set of electoral promises related to
00:10:43improving the trade balance, improving the deficit or reducing
00:10:46the trade deficit, also related to completing the major projects related to infrastructure
00:10:50and raising the investment attractiveness of the Kingdom of Morocco, without forgetting also the files
00:10:54related to said, it costs Morocco a lot at the level of imports
00:10:58and also contributes to importing inflation, which has greatly
00:11:01affected purchasing power. The government is required to raise
00:11:05the pace of growth given that today we are
00:11:08in the process of implementing the new development model project. Morocco's
00:11:12vision for 2035, transforming into an emerging country by 2035,
00:11:152035 يقتضي ان يكون عندنا
00:11:19no less than 6%
00:11:22growth. Similarly, the current government is required
00:11:26to amend the strategies related to employment because
00:11:29today we cannot continue in light of high unemployment rates
00:11:33of more than 13%. Purchasing power is viewed from two
00:11:36angles: first, inflation, to bring down prices
00:11:39and eliminate those intermediaries who unreasonably
00:11:43inflate prices, since tomatoes
00:11:46come out at three dirhams in one place and reach 10
00:11:50or 15 dirhams in Rabat or Casablanca or the major cities of
00:11:53Morocco.
00:12:02from the farmer and sell at a reasonable
00:12:05profit margin. A state of anticipation prevails today in the Moroccan
00:12:09political scene to know the nature of the next government
00:12:12coalition. A majority called to be cohesive
00:12:15and convincing before Parliament, but it is
00:12:19more required to express the popular will
00:12:22with its democratic weight.
00:12:41map became clear and the parties' readings of the results followed, what is
00:12:45the deepest political message carried by the Moroccan vote, and how
00:12:49will the new balance of power be reflected in the
00:12:52formation of the majority and its position?
00:12:56There were multiple messages carried by polling day on September 23rd
00:13:00last year, addressed to the next government. Of course, there are files
00:13:03that have been pending since the previous government, whose term
00:13:06has ended. These issues concern infrastructure,
00:13:10purchasing power files, as
00:13:13well as public policies related primarily to employment,
00:13:16health, education, and housing.
00:13:20Of course, the messages of the Moroccans were reflected in the participation
00:13:23rate, which did not exceed
00:13:2538%. This message to the political
00:13:28actor is to break the stalemate that
00:13:32lasted for certain periods in previous
00:13:35communication to convey the concerns of citizens and listen more to
00:13:39the pulse of the Moroccan street. Professor Aghrad, where can points of convergence
00:13:43or divergence between parties appear when the discussion
00:13:46moves from the number of seats to a government program
00:13:49with its priorities? First, there is the number.
00:13:53There are multiple scenarios.
00:13:58and the convergence of the ideological and intellectual
00:14:04that participated in the September 23rd elections. Of course, the number
00:14:07is important. Why? The majority of course needs
00:14:10to secure 186 seats to ensure a comfortable government majority,
00:14:14but the scenarios remain open and multiple. Will the previous
00:14:18government coalition, whose term has ended, be re-formed,
00:14:21or will the new government, meaning the party that topped the elections,
00:14:25the Authenticity and Modernity party, open
00:14:28other avenues for other participation,
00:14:31perhaps from the opposition, or will it be content
00:14:35with one or two parties that collaborated with it in the government
00:14:46elections, the participation rate at the national level reached
00:14:4938.08%
00:14:52of the total national electorate. Thus, the September
00:14:5523rd election witnessed the participation of approximately 6
00:14:59million male and female voters.
00:15:162026 election is not limited to seats only, but
00:15:20the participation rate also constitutes one of the most prominent
00:15:25election.
00:15:28the national level is 38%
00:15:3208 of the total electorate,
00:15:35compared to 50% 86 in 2021
00:15:38and 42% 27 in 2016.
00:15:41Thus, the participation rate has
00:15:44decreased compared to the 2021
00:15:47elections by 12 percentage
00:15:51points, 28, and was also lower
00:15:54by four points,
00:15:5719, compared to the 2016
00:16:01regional level, participation rates reveal a clear
00:16:04disparity between the various regions of the Kingdom.
00:16:07The Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra region recorded the highest
00:16:11مشاركه ب
00:16:1277%,
00:16:15followed by the
00:16:18Eddahab region at
00:16:2060.90%,
00:16:24then the Guelmim-Oued Noun region
00:16:28at 54%.
00:16:31The participation rate also reached
00:16:3444.80%
00:16:37in the Draa-Tafilalet region and
00:16:4143.89%
00:16:44in the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra
00:16:47and
00:16:4940.90%
00:16:52in the Beni Mellal-Khénifra
00:16:56and 39.33% in the
00:16:59Marrakech-Safi
00:17:03and 38.51%
00:17:06in the Fès-Meknès
00:17:10and
00:17:1337.56% in the

00:17:30at
00:17:3231.30%.
00:17:36So, the preliminary figures for the September
00:17:3923rd election reveal
00:17:42three main levels of change.
00:17:46First, a change in the order of party forces within the House
00:17:49of Representatives. Second, varying transformations in the number
00:17:53of seats between 2020 and
00:17:552026, in addition to a significant decrease in
00:17:58the national participation rate compared to
00:18:09The national participation rate, which reached 38%,
00:18:12this percentage hides a clear disparity between
00:18:15regions. What does this percentage allow us to understand about the relationship
00:18:19of voters to the electoral process? Does the participation
00:18:22map help us understand the results map, or does each region have
00:18:25its own electoral dynamics?
00:18:28Of course, the current percentage, although
00:18:31lower than the previous one in the 2021 election,
00:18:34has multiple interpretations. First, each region has its own
00:18:37dynamics. Second, the electoral division contributed, as we noticed,
00:18:41if we followed the multiple readings of the
00:18:44September 23rd
00:18:47that the rural

00:19:05ومشاركه حقيقيه لكن نجم
00:19:08it is clear that this
00:19:10percentage of 38% is a challenge to political parties at the level
00:19:14of framework that came in all constitutions, especially the 2011 constitution, meaning
00:19:18the extent of their framework, the extent of their presence as a political
00:19:21and organizational actor to encourage more participation from
00:19:24Moroccan voters in the upcoming
00:19:33a significant electoral participation was recorded in the southern provinces of the Kingdom in
00:19:42the election, reflecting a strong presence of voters in the electoral process and highlighting the importance of this election for the residents of these regions and the aspirations
00:19:46that their votes carry related to development, representation, and local
00:19:56regions of the Kingdom recorded legislative election participation
00:19:59rates that exceeded the national average, according to official
00:20:02data. The participation rate in the Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra
00:20:05region reached 77%,
00:20:08while in the Dakhla-Oued
00:20:12and in the Guelmim-Oued Noun
00:20:1454%, compared to a national average
00:20:18of around 38%.
00:20:21These figures reflect the disparity in participation between
00:20:23different regions, with
00:20:27regional level in Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra.
00:20:30The participation rate
00:20:34level of citizens, and this
00:20:37indicates the awareness of citizens of their constitutional
00:20:41right and their awareness of political participation
00:20:44and their influence on public
00:20:47life. And we hope, God willing, success
00:20:51to all who succeeded in these
00:20:55elections, and we hope
00:20:58that this stage
00:21:03the people who succeeded will be true
00:21:06advocates for the problems and
00:21:10seek the aspirations of the residents to implement their aspirations on the ground
00:21:14and find solutions that
00:21:18are applied on the ground. This indicates a great involvement of
00:21:21civil society activists, especially
00:21:25and also their interest in
00:21:28public affairs. Congratulations to the winners of these

00:21:59of their residents in this national
00:22:02in various electoral
00:22:04stages, which reflects the level of participation in fulfilling the electoral
00:22:08duty.
00:22:20this high voting density, the question is not only
00:22:23about voters going to the polls, but also
00:22:26what they are saying through them. How do you interpret the political
00:22:29implications of this turnout in the context of the national cause?
00:22:32The political implications in this data are
00:22:35always the southern region,
00:22:38participation, of course, due to the dynamism of political actors
00:22:42and civil society actors in real and positive interaction with the demands
00:22:46of the population, and thus we note that there is always a strong
00:22:50presence. Even at the level of elites, the sons of the region are always present
00:22:53with their women and men within the First Chamber, and there are deep
00:22:56discussions on societal issues concerning the region.
00:22:59Also, our observation during the electoral
