In a scene reflecting the awareness of the local population, an elected official in the Oulad Tayeb commune was expelled by young residents of one of the village districts after a four-wheel-drive vehicle was spotted attempting to distribute “Ramadan food baskets” under suspicious circumstances. The official was accompanied by a personal photographer, making it clear that the charitable act was being exploited for political purposes.
Reliable sources informed Fes News that residents sensed an electoral motive behind this initiative, especially since it was carried out without official authorization or any coordination with local authorities. This prompted several young villagers to intervene forcefully and prevent the official from executing his plan.
Sources further explained that the official attempted to win over the locals by filming the distribution of food aid, but public awareness thwarted his efforts. He was eventually forced to leave the area under pressure from angry residents, who firmly rejected any political exploitation of their Ramadan necessities.
This incident comes amid increased government regulation of public charitable activities, requiring all organizations and individuals wishing to provide aid to obtain official permits. This measure aims to ensure the integrity of humanitarian efforts and prevent their misuse for electoral purposes.
Will this event put an end to certain politicians’ attempts to exploit citizens’ struggles for personal gain? Or will such incidents continue to resurface as elections approach?
