Informed sources revealed to Fes News the involvement of a parliamentarian in the Moulay Yacoub region in practices described as suspicious aimed at blackmailing the local authorities by inciting citizens to protest in order to put pressure on the workers and make himself a mediator in resolving crises, which enables him to get closer to the decision-making circles in the region.
The sources explained that the concerned parliamentarian is exploiting the demands of the population to stir up chaos and turn it into a political pressure card, as he seeks to present himself as a link between citizens and the administration, using the situation to improve his image in front of voters and enhance his influence within the work force.
The same sources confirmed that these moves are not new, but have been repeated on more than one occasion, as the parliamentarian intends to fuel popular anger and push residents to organize protests related to legitimate demands, but he employs them for personal purposes by negotiating with the workers on the basis that he is the only party capable of calming the situation.
The available data indicate that this strategy is mainly aimed at imposing the parliamentarian as a key player in decision-making in the region and benefiting from the political and economic advantages that this status can provide, especially as the upcoming electoral elections approach.
On the other hand, some local actors believe that these practices disrupt the work of institutions and hinder development efforts in the region, as the needs of the population are exploited for personal purposes instead of searching for radical and sustainable solutions to the issues that affect the communities of Moulay Yacoub region.
This case raises questions about the extent to which some elected officials use social demands to achieve political gains instead of working seriously to improve the living conditions of citizens. It also highlights the role that the authorities must play in addressing this type of political blackmail to ensure that institutions work according to a logic that serves the public interest away from narrow calculations.
