During his presentation of the interim results of his government to parliament, Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch affirmed that all the achievements, laws, and policies of the government aim to achieve the “Great Social State Project,” whose exclusive credit goes to King Mohammed VI for its inception.
Akhannouch seized the opportunity to respond to critics of his government’s policies, asserting that the “Social State Project” is not a subject of controversy but rather a noble humanitarian project initiated by the King, and the government is working efficiently and swiftly to implement it.
He pointed out that social protection workshops, in all their aspects, from expanding healthcare coverage to launching direct social support and housing assistance, embody the King’s vision and philosophy aimed at cementing the social state and preserving citizens’ dignity.
These statements come amid disagreements over the origin of the idea of direct social support, with former Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane claiming it as his idea and conveying it to the King, while the government insists that the entire project is the result of the King’s vision and directives.
Benkirane had earlier affirmed that the idea of direct social support for the needy was his, and he conveyed it to the King, but circumstances did not allow its implementation at that time.
He clarified that he proposed this idea to the King alongside the late Abdellah Baha and Idriss Azami and suggested it to him in Marrakech, noting that circumstances at that time did not permit its application, but now the circumstances allow it, and the King has adopted this idea.
Benkirane concluded his speech with a message to members of his party in Tangier, saying: “If you see anything happening in this country, know that it’s from the King through his orders and directives, not the government.”
