HIBAPRESS – Mohamed Zariouh
The parliamentarian for the Nador region, Mohammadi Touhtouh, sparked widespread controversy during his intervention in the session discussing the Finance Bill in the House of Representatives, when he attributed a group of projects being implemented in the region to ministers of a specific government. While this statement aimed to highlight the role of certain ministers, it overlooked the significant and influential role played by the Ministry of Interior and the governor of the region, Jamal Al-Shaarani, in achieving these achievements on the ground.
According to consistent sources, the sports complex project in Nador was not just the result of governmental efforts, as Touhtouh tried to imply, but rather the result of continuous interventions from the Ministry of Interior. Initially, there was resistance to funding the project from the Ministry of National Education, Youth, and Sports, but the effective intervention of the local authority, through coordination meetings with various concerned parties, led to securing the project's budget and starting its implementation. This move reflects the decisive role of the Ministry of Interior in driving local development.
In addition to this project, there were a number of other development files that witnessed direct and effective interventions from the Ministry of Interior. The regional hospital file in Selwan, which had been experiencing long delays, saw remarkable progress thanks to the efforts of the governor of the region, who worked to overcome the financial and technical obstacles that were hindering the progress of the works. Despite the delays the project witnessed in the previous government, the local authority succeeded in accelerating the completion, which reflects the effectiveness of the interventions of the Ministry of Interior in accelerating the pace of projects.
As for the Marchica Lagoon Development Agency, the parliamentarian sought to direct the blame towards poor local management regarding the halt of some projects, while the absence of government support was the main factor behind the delay. In light of this situation, the local authorities took innovative steps, as they sought alternatives to solve financial problems through cooperation with local and international investors, which highlights the ability of local authorities to adapt to challenges.
Through these data, it becomes clear that attempts to politicize achievements and local development ignore the factual realities. The Ministry of Interior and the governor of the region played a pivotal role in achieving these projects, away from partisan calculations or elections. This experience has proven that sustainable development requires genuine cooperation between governmental institutions, away from any political biases.
In conclusion, the efforts of the Ministry of Interior and the governor of the region remain the main factor in driving the wheel of development in Nador. Despite attempts to direct the light towards certain parties, the truth remains that the great responsibility lies with the local authority in achieving these achievements, reflecting their true commitment to the development of the region and achieving the interests of the residents.
