HIBAPRESS – by A. Muhayawi
The Political Bureau of the National Democratic Party, chaired by Secretary-General Khalid Al-Bakkali, held an organizational and guidance meeting in a national context characterized by increasing political and social challenges, which calls for strengthening confidence in political work and consolidating a culture of responsibility and initiative, and seriously engaging in the major national projects led by King Mohammed VI.
The Political Bureau began its work by expressing its deep pride in the anniversary of the presentation of the Independence Document, as a pivotal historical station that embodied the unity of Moroccans and their collective will for liberation and building the modern nation-state, while renewing the sincere prayer to His Majesty the King for good health and wellness, and for the nation for more security, stability and prosperity. On the organizational level, the meeting stopped at the positive dynamic witnessed by the party across the various regions and provinces of the Kingdom, where the Political Bureau praised the efforts made by the regional and provincial offices, and the field and communication mobilization led by the party's male and female fighters in cities and villages, in harmony with the option of closeness to the citizen, renewing the elites, and framing youth and women, considering them an essential pillar of any democratic reform project. In view of the upcoming electoral deadlines, the Political Bureau stressed that electoral participation should not be a goal in itself, but rather a means to build a responsible and credible political offer, based on a realistic program that makes combating social fragility a top priority, and puts the citizen at the heart of public policies. It also affirmed that combating corruption is not a temporary slogan, but an ethical and institutional commitment that requires clarity and linking responsibility to accountability. The Political Bureau also renewed its adherence to the state of institutions and law, preserving rights and freedoms, and strengthening the independence of professional and civil bodies within the framework of the constitution, which contributes to improving the quality of public debate and strengthening confidence in institutional representation. In a related context, the party expressed its interest in what accompanies the public debate around the legal texts framing the media and journalistic field, considering that resorting to the Constitutional Court constitutes a legitimate constitutional mechanism to ensure the integrity of legislation and respect for the constitution, while calling for the adoption of a broad participatory approach that guarantees freedom of the press, pluralism of opinion and the self-organization of the profession. The National Democratic Party confirms, through this meeting, its determination to continue organized fieldwork, and to strengthen its presence close to the concerns of citizens, calling on its male and female fighters for more mobilization, discipline and a spirit of initiative, in order to translate the party project into serious and responsible political action, based on integrity and serving the public interest.
