Mohamed Chaouki, president of the Rassemblement national des indépendants (RNI), recently spoke in Tétouan, Morocco, where he reviewed the government's achievements in several social sectors. Chaouki emphasized that the government's record should be evaluated based on facts rather than slogans. He highlighted the progress made in education, healthcare, employment, and social protection. The event was attended by RNI supporters.

Chaouki pointed out that in the education sector, the government has made significant strides, including the progressive generalization of Écoles pionnières in the Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma region. Additionally, over 1,000 new teachers have been recruited. In terms of employment, the president of the RNI mentioned that more than 2,000 new enterprises have been created. These developments are part of the government's efforts to improve the lives of Moroccans.

The government has also made notable progress in the healthcare sector. Chaouki reported that 36 new hospitals with large and medium capacity have been built during the current government's term. Furthermore, 50 other healthcare facilities are under construction, and over 1,400 health centers and dispensaries have been renovated. These improvements aim to enhance the quality of healthcare services for Moroccans.

In the realm of social protection, Chaouki stated that the number of Moroccans benefiting from medical coverage has increased significantly, from 9 million to over 32 million, with 10 million of them receiving coverage without making any financial contributions. Moreover, nearly 4 million people are now receiving direct social assistance every month. These measures demonstrate the government's commitment to supporting vulnerable populations.

Chaouki also acknowledged that despite the progress made, not all objectives have been achieved. He admitted that there is still work to be done, stating, "We have done a lot, but we have not done everything." This acknowledgment reflects the government's awareness of the challenges that remain and its determination to continue working towards its goals.

The president of the RNI emphasized that the government's accomplishments are based on concrete numbers and facts, rather than mere slogans. By highlighting these achievements, Chaouki aimed to demonstrate the government's commitment to improving the lives of Moroccans and to showcase its progress in various sectors.

The event in Tétouan was an opportunity for Chaouki to engage with RNI supporters and to discuss the government's record. By defending the government's achievements, Chaouki demonstrated his party's confidence in its policies and accomplishments. The government's efforts to improve education, healthcare, employment, and social protection are likely to remain key aspects of its agenda.
