In a notable development on the Moroccan political scene, opposition parties decided to postpone the motion of no confidence against the government of Aziz Akhannouch, which was expected to be presented to parliament in the coming days.
This postponement follows the announcement by four opposition parties, citing other parliamentary commitments, which raised questions about the real reasons behind this decision and its potential impact on the political landscape in the country.
A motion of no confidence is a constitutional mechanism that allows parliament to withdraw support for the government if it loses the confidence of the majority of its members. This tool is one of the main means of parliamentary oversight over the government’s performance, and it can be used to express dissatisfaction with government policies or its failure to implement its program.
Although the motion of no confidence requires the support of 79 members of parliament—a difficult step that requires extensive coordination between opposition parties—this mechanism is considered a powerful tool of pressure on the government in any parliamentary system.
Many observers have noted that the postponement of the motion comes at a politically sensitive time, as criticisms of the government are increasing due to ongoing economic and social crises. The officials who announced the delay justified it by pointing to other parliamentary obligations that require focus at this stage. Others, however, suggested that the delay might be part of a well-thought-out political move by the opposition.
In this context, Mr. Ashraf Al-Taribq, head of the Moroccan Center for Thinking and Development, stated that the opposition’s initiative had been prepared months ago, adding that the delay was due to other political and parliamentary commitments. He emphasized that the opposition still faces significant economic challenges, which explains the push for a motion of no confidence.
On the other hand, journalist Abdelhadi Mazrari believes that the opposition has not been able to effectively play its role in recent years. He considers this step to be partly an attempt to re-establish itself as a political force in the upcoming elections. Mazrari added that the opposition may face difficulties in gathering the necessary signatures to carry out the motion of no confidence, making this step more of a political maneuver aimed at pressuring the government without leading to immediate results.
The most important question remains: Will this postponement be just a tactical phase, or will the opposition eventually be able to submit the motion of no confidence in a concrete way? Given the difficult economic conditions and the growing public protests, the Moroccan political scene may witness a new phase of parliamentary actions that could significantly impact the future structure of the government.
