HIBAPRESS – Rabat
King Mohammed VI appointed Fatima Saadi as Minister Delegate for Housing and Urban Policy, within the new government headed by Fatima-Zahra Mansouri.
Saadi hails from the city of Al Hoceima, where she accumulated a career that combined associative work, local management, and party and parliamentary responsibilities, before reaching the executive branch to assume responsibility for a sector directly linked to housing and urban development issues.
Fatima Saadi received her primary and secondary education in Al Hoceima, before pursuing her university studies in Fez and Oujda, where she obtained a degree in Linguistics and Arabic Language. She then continued her academic training in Rabat and began her career in social work in 1994 through the Solidarity and Social Action Association in Al Hoceima, an experience that served as an entry point to her interest in local development issues and social groups, before entering politics in 2008 through the "For all Democrats" movement, which paved the way for the establishment of the Authenticity and Modernity Party.
In 2009, Saadi was elected President of the Communal Council of Al Hoceima, becoming the first woman to hold this position in the city, and continued to manage local affairs until 2015.
She also moved to regional work through her membership in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region council, before entering the House of Representatives in 2016, where she accumulated experience in legislative work, alongside her interest in files related to local development, education, culture, and communication.
On the party level, Fatima Saadi progressed through the structures of the Authenticity and Modernity Party, holding the position of Deputy Secretary-General between 2020 and 2024, before being elected a member of the party's collective leadership in October 2024, alongside Fatima-Zahra Mansouri and Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid.
Her appointment as Minister Delegate for Housing and Urban Policy represents a new stage in her career, in a sector facing challenges related to housing provision, urban area rehabilitation, and living condition improvement, files that will be among the priorities of her governmental responsibilities.
