Driss Lachguar, the First Secretary of Morocco's Unified Socialist Party (USFP), recently held two separate meetings at the party's Rabat headquarters. The first meeting was with the National Secretariat of the Ittihadie Women's Organization (OFI), while the second was with the National Bureau of Ittihadie Youth. Both meetings focused on the current political situation and upcoming organizational and electoral deadlines.

During the meetings, Lachguar provided an overview of the current political landscape, highlighting recent developments in the national cause. He reaffirmed the party's commitment to supporting King Mohammed VI in protecting the nation and its interests. Lachguar also expressed confidence in the government's ability to meet the growing expectations of Moroccans.

The role of women and youth within the party was emphasized as crucial. Lachguar stressed that they are essential in strengthening party structures and expanding its audience. He encouraged the launch of a new dynamic focused on training, development, and openness. This initiative aims to prepare the party for the 2027 electoral battles and subsequent events.

The Ittihadie Youth issued a communiqué after the meeting, reiterating their support for the King's initiative on the Moroccan Sahara and praising the party's leadership for their handling of government formation consultations. They also welcomed the appointment of ministers from the party's ranks, viewing them as products of the party's own political training ground.

The communiqué announced that preparations have begun for upcoming electoral deadlines and the party's tenth national congress. Programs for animation and training have started in various regions of the kingdom. Additionally, preparations for the National Youth Council session have commenced, which will take place in the coming days as a prelude to the congress.

The meetings reflect the party's efforts to engage its members and prepare for future challenges. By focusing on the role of women and youth, the party aims to strengthen its internal structures and improve its electoral prospects. The Ittihadie Women's Organization and Youth are seen as key components in this strategy.
