The Presidency of the Government Majority welcomed the cohesion of its components and the convergence of its positions on all issues. In a press release following meeting in Rabat on Wednesday, the Presidency said that this cohesion positively impacted the governmental report presented by the Head of government to the Houses of Parliament, despite the troubles and constraints the government faced during this period, notably the repercussions of the Covid pandemic, severe drought and the impact of geostrategic tensions on supply chains. The meeting opened with the Presidency highly praising the deployment, on High instructions of HM King Mohammed VI, of medical humanitarian aid for Palestinian population in Gaza, noting that this initiative clearly demonstrates the High solicitude that HM King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, attaches to the Palestinian cause. The Presidency also commended the government’s innovative and distinguished management, built on effective implementation of the commitments of the government’s program and swift, positive interaction with disruptive issues, adds the same source. The Presidency furthermore expressed satisfaction over the pace of the governmental program implementation, highlighting the financial engineering set up by the Executive to ensure sustainable funding to the Social State project. “It highlighted the large-scale actions of the parliamentary majority groups at the House of Representatives and Councillors, in application of their constitutional attributions in matters of legislation, monitoring and evaluation, welcoming the institutional interaction of opposition groups, which contributes to reinforcing the political roles of Parliament as an institution holding democratic debate in our country,” adds the press release. The Presidency also emphasized the central role of local authorities, provincial councils and regional councils in consolidating the proximity approach to citizens, stressing the importance of strengthening their missions so as to consolidate the decentralization process, improve local services and the local development index, and reduce spatial disparities. The Presidency of the Government Majority also reaffirmed its commitment to continue implementing the governmental program, to work towards immunizing the social state project and to prioritize the unemployment issue during the remainder of the government’s mandate.
