Al-Buhusseini: Morocco is experiencing a suffocating political crisis and the results of the elections do not represent the popular will

At a symposium organized by the United Socialist Party in Rabat, professor and human rights activist Latifa Bouhsini said that Morocco is experiencing a suffocating political crisis, and that the legislative elections cannot be isolated from the general political context. Al-Buhusseini explained that Morocco lived five lean years before the elections, which witnessed an effort by the government majority to restrict public freedoms, and arrests and follow-ups that affected the youth of the "Generation Z" movement. There are currently 600 young people in prisons against the backdrop of this movement.

Al-Buhusseini pointed to the conflict of interests and suspicions of monopoly from the highest hierarchy of the government to the lowest minister, and the multiplication of purchasing power, which brought the parties of society to protest in cities and rural areas, the latest of which was the mass escape to occupied Ceuta. She stressed that the government was punished for its proceeds even before the moment of the vote. She considered that the neutrality of the Ministry of Interior was preceded by control mechanisms through electoral laws, the dismemberment of constituencies and the electoral sector.

She stressed that the political event in the recent elections is the very low participation rate as a punishment for the government coalition, and that the return of some political components from the previous government trilateral confirms the absence of representation of popular will or political accountability. Al-Buhusseini concluded that the AKP's fourth place in the elections and the victory of the "Left Alliance" with eight parliamentary seats constitute a point of light in a black political scene, stressing that the alliance and coordination between the two parties is very possible.
