In light of the crisis experienced by border regions such as Fnideq, particularly the attempted incursions into Ceuta, the apparent absence of a clear and tangible impact of the National Rally of Independents party, led by Aziz Akhannouch, and the government majority as a whole, raises serious questions about their role in addressing these sensitive issues.
The current government, and especially Akhannouch’s party as part of the majority, is expected to have comprehensive strategies focused on social and economic solutions to curb these phenomena, such as improving job opportunities and social integration in these marginalized areas. However, political engagement seems to be absent, and instead, matters are left to the security authorities, who find themselves forced to deal with problems that go beyond mere law enforcement.
The crisis here lies in the decline of the role of political parties in engaging with the local community and resolving economic and social problems, which opens the door to the exacerbation of negative phenomena and places a heavy responsibility on the government to undertake realistic initiatives to reduce this growing tension.
