Informed sources revealed to “Fes News” that the Traditional Crafts Chamber in the Fes-Meknes region, despite its essential role in supporting artisans and traditional craftsmen, has failed to provide any vision or real future for its members over the past years.
The sources indicated that the chamber suffers from a lack of strategic programs that meet the aspirations of professionals and support the development of the sector, leading to a sense of frustration among many craftsmen who believe that the chamber has failed to achieve any significant progress on their behalf.
As the date approaches for the elections to choose a new president and members of the chamber’s office, doubts are increasing about the ability of these elections to bring about real change. Many observers believe that the current struggle between prominent candidates, Al-Naji Al-Fakhari and Abdul Malik Al-Boutayyin, focuses more on political maneuvering and party support rather than presenting realistic programs that effectively serve professionals.
In this context, the sources emphasized the need for new leadership capable of providing a clear future vision that meets the needs of traditional craftsmen, especially in light of the economic challenges facing the sector at both local and international levels.
Everyone is eagerly awaiting the outcome of these elections amid serious questions about whether they will contribute to improving the conditions of professionals or if they are merely another round that will not change anything in the reality of the sector.
