HIBAPRESS – Shafiq Anouri
Abdelali Benlial, a professor of constitutional law and political science at Mohammed V University in Rabat, considered that what distinguished the ministerial council held last Sunday evening was the presentation of the draft organic law related to the House of Representatives.
Benlial said in a statement to "HIBAPRESS" that the project "aims to create a moral public life, and protect this representative institution from corrupt elites who abuse this institution, and contribute to the loss of confidence in the legislative elections." The university professor added that "this reform initiative" is in its essence "a demand of various social, political, and popular events," which has always called for "making this institution an expression and title for defending the interests and expectations of citizens, and not a refuge for corrupt people and the search for interests and benefits." Benlial continued that the general orientations of the 2026 finance project focused on "setting up incentive mechanisms to encourage young people to run," adding that "it was noteworthy to present the draft organic law for political parties and to emphasize the review of the provisions related to the establishment of political parties so that young people can establish political parties." He added that this matter shows that the state "has realized that traditional parties are no longer able to absorb and attract the new generations of young people who have their own interests, ambitions, and new means of communication and expression," noting that "most of the current political parties do not enjoy attractiveness from the general public of young people and do not provide suitable opportunities for integration within their organizational structures." It is worth noting that King Mohammed VI chaired on Sunday evening at the Royal Palace in Rabat, a ministerial council dedicated to deliberating on the general orientations of the draft finance law for the year 2026, and approving draft organic laws, and two draft decrees concerning the military field, in addition to a number of international agreements, and a set of appointments to senior positions.
