Moroccan politician Fozzi Lekjaa, a member of the political bureau of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), has criticized the mentality of rushing into projects and agreements. He emphasized that projects implemented in Morocco benefit the country and its people, not specific political parties. Lekjaa made these comments during a party meeting in Nador, stressing that the party's focus is on the real impact of projects on citizens' lives.

Lekjaa criticized some individuals for claiming credit for projects and agreements, stating that their value is only apparent when they are implemented and have a tangible impact on citizens' lives. He also expressed concern about the emphasis on signing agreements, saying that this approach can be misleading. Instead, Lekjaa emphasized the importance of evaluating projects based on their actual effects.

The PAM politician highlighted the importance of prioritizing youth, providing them with support, training, and incentives to create their own businesses. He also emphasized the need to facilitate access to affordable housing, enabling young people to play a greater role in the economy and society. Lekjaa stressed that Morocco cannot afford to waste the potential of its youth.

Lekjaa called for a review of the current system for determining who receives support, advocating for a more nuanced approach based on families' actual income levels. He suggested that support should be increased for those who need it most, potentially from 500 to 1000 dirhams. The goal is to ensure that support reaches those who require it, using clear criteria.

Lekjaa also addressed issues related to compulsory health insurance, highlighting cases where individuals are classified in professional categories that do not accurately reflect their situation. He emphasized the need to identify who should receive state-funded insurance and who can afford to pay for themselves. This approach aims to ensure that those who need it most receive adequate support.

Lekjaa rejected the idea that the concept of a social state can be reduced to direct support and health insurance. He argued that a successful social state requires a comprehensive healthcare system, a well-equipped education system, and policies that promote employment, training, and housing. The PAM politician emphasized that the party's vision for the coming years is to translate social programs into tangible results for citizens.

Lekjaa concluded by emphasizing the importance of adopting clear criteria for distributing support and ensuring that various social protection programs benefit those who need them most. The PAM politician's comments reflect the party's commitment to promoting a more equitable and effective social state in Morocco.
