Commendation of Royal Decisions and Calls for Strengthening Social Rights

The meeting began with the Political Bureau extending congratulations to His Majesty King Mohammed VI and the Moroccan people on the occasion of Ramadan, wishing it to be a month of blessings and prosperity for all. The party also reiterated its high appreciation for the royal decision to forgo the Eid sacrifice this year, considering it a reflection of the King’s continued concern for the economic and social conditions of certain segments of society, particularly those with limited income.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, PAM congratulated Moroccan women, commending the achievements made under the leadership of His Majesty the King. The party also stressed the need for further political and economic measures to enhance equality within Moroccan society.

Moroccan-French Relations at the Forefront of Political Discussions

On the diplomatic front, PAM expressed satisfaction with France’s firm stance on Morocco’s territorial integrity.

The Political Bureau emphasized that these developments underscore the strength of strategic relations between the two nations across political, cultural, and economic spheres.

Price Monitoring and Combating Speculation During Ramadan

With the arrival of Ramadan, the Political Bureau drew attention to the continuous rise in prices, urging the government to intensify market oversight and take strict measures against speculators and intermediaries who exploit economic conditions for illicit profits. The party also called for the cancellation of tax and customs exemptions that failed to achieve their intended goal of reducing meat prices.

Commitment to Democracy and Human Rights Protection

Regarding the democratic process, PAM reaffirmed the importance of preserving Morocco’s accumulated democratic achievements. The party stressed the need to protect freedom of expression, uphold national institutions, and engage in an open and responsible discussion on current political challenges with integrity and commitment.

New Government Plan to Address Unemployment

It called for the involvement of public authorities and elected representatives to transform this initiative into a national opportunity for youth empowerment and the development of disadvantaged regions.

Youth Engagement in Politics and Strengthening Communication

The party commended the “Generation 2030” initiative launched by its youth members, which aims to strengthen dialogue with young people and involve them in shaping public policies, considering them a fundamental pillar in Morocco’s political and social future.

The Palestinian Issue and Morocco’s Role in Supporting the Cause
