The first round of political consultations for forming a new Moroccan government started with a meeting between the National Rally of Independents and the Authenticity and Modernity Party. The meeting took place at the PAM headquarters in Rabat, where a delegation from the National Rally of Independents, led by party leader Mohamed Chouki, met with PAM leader Abdel Latif Wahbi. The discussions aimed to outline the future government coalition and prioritize the country's upcoming political and economic challenges.
The National Rally of Independents delegation included prominent party members, such as Rashid Talbi Alami, speaker of the House of Representatives, and former Minister of Economy and Finance, Mohamed Boussaid. The meeting marked the first official talks since Fatima Zahra Mansouri was appointed as the head of government. The discussions focused on the government's future structure and policies, with both parties seeking to find common ground.
The meeting was attended by a significant number of journalists and media representatives, highlighting the importance of this development in Moroccan politics. The talks are seen as a crucial step towards forming a new government, with various parties expected to participate in the coalition. The Authenticity and Modernity Party and the National Rally of Independents are key players in Moroccan politics, and their agreement could shape the country's future policies.
Other parties, such as the Independence Party, have also begun their own consultations. The party's leader, Hamid Choukri, met with Mansouri to discuss potential cooperation. The Independence Party's politburo member, Mohamed Arroubi, stated that the party is open to forming alliances with other parties to serve the country's interests.
Chouki expressed satisfaction with the meeting, describing the discussions as clear and constructive. He emphasized that his party is committed to serving the country's higher interests and contributing to the government's formation.
