Lawyer Mohamed Ghloussi, president of the Moroccan Association for the Protection of Public Funds, accused MP Ahmed Touizi, head of the Authenticity and Modernity group in the House of Representatives, of sabotaging a seminar on the impact of corruption on local development.
Ghloussi said in a post published on his Facebook account that Touizi, who, in addition to being a Member of Parliament, also heads the municipality of Ait Ourir, along with his followers, sabotaged a seminar held on Sunday evening, November 2nd, at the headquarters of the municipality of Ait Ourir under the title "Collective Management and the Entrances of Development". Ghloussi added that "the seminar was organized by civil society associations and I participated in it with an intervention in my capacity as president of the Moroccan Association for the Protection of Public Funds," noting that his intervention focused "on the problem of corruption and its effects on local development and the exploitation of some elites for positions of responsibility to serve their interests and accumulate wealth." The head of the "Protectors of Public Funds" association continued that his intervention also focused on some elites leaving "cities without infrastructure and public services," adding that he also talked about how this group exploited "Parliament to restrict civil society and institutions and pass legislation that serves their interests." The president of the Moroccan Association for the Protection of Public Funds pointed out that these elites still "cling to their seats and refuse to leave the field for young people and new energies, and some of them are determined to remain in their positions until God takes them," concluding that "Touizi and his followers rose up, stormed the seminar platform, and sabotaged it, and everyone was forced to withdraw." Ghloussi pointed out in the post, which he attached with a video clip documenting a part of these practices, which he described as strange, and which "want to impose their will by force and violence," that Touizi called him in front of everyone a "failed lawyer."
