فاس نيوز ميديا جريدة الكترونية جهوية تعنى بشؤون و أخبار جهة فاس مكناس – متجددة على مدار الساعة
During a press conference held on Thursday, December 19, 2024, Abdelilah Benkirane, Secretary-General of the Justice and Development Party, made fiery statements targeting certain economic policies and government decisions. He described them as opaque and unjust, criticizing what he called an illegitimate overlap between government interests and certain investors. This, he claimed, has led to decisions benefiting a limited group at the expense of the public interest.
Benkirane specifically pointed to tax reductions for large corporations with investments exceeding one billion dirhams, describing this measure as biased and raising suspicions about its motives. He argued that such actions do not foster trust in the country’s economic institutions but instead create opportunities for manipulation and corruption. He also expressed dissatisfaction with the behind-the-scenes decision-making process, which he said lacks oversight and transparency.
In his remarks, Benkirane warned of the serious consequences of citizens losing trust in governmental and political institutions. He emphasized that such a situation could lead to unprecedented social and political crises, drawing parallels to the February 20 protests, which he attributed to similar circumstances.
Benkirane also directed sharp criticism at Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, asserting that the current policies could steer the country toward a dangerous path unless reversed. He called for fair and transparent decisions that restore balance to the economic and political landscape.
His statements highlighted the challenges facing the government amid growing public and political scrutiny over its ability to address these issues and regain citizens’ confidence.
