USFP First Secretary Driss Lachgar’s closest leaders are criticizing his desperate attempts to join Akhannouch’s government. They accuse him of alienating the identity of the party by adopting an antinomian discourse to the extent that he fell into “political wandering and exclusion of the USFP from all possible classifications“, reports Assabah weekend (May 25 and 26).
The party drifted away from the opposition, was banned from government and was unable to articulate critical support. The socialist source was surprised by the contradictory performance of the USFP leadership when its boss persists in wanting to enter the government and is not at all ashamed to campaign for a vote of no confidence in that same government.
According to a source close to the chief executive, Lachgar’s desire to join the government is at odds with the tone of his speech. And the same speaker explained that “the government majority is comfortable and homogeneous. Therefore, there is no justification for changing the coalition“. Comments suggesting that the planned reconstruction will concern only the circle of ministers, without affecting the three components of the coalition.
USFP Relay Chief Assabahdoes not give in, as he calls on the prime minister to adopt “real policy liberalยป emphasizing during the media release that “Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch indicated a few days ago, during the presentation of his government’s report to parliament, that the program implemented by the USFP is that of the USFP..
Speaking about the possible reconstruction of the ministers, Driss Lachgar emphasized: “Within the USFP, we believe that Morocco is engaged in major projects and that the natural place of our party is in the government, not in the opposition.“.
However, the majority insists on the Socialists remaining in the opposition, which was also said by the leader of their parliamentary group, stating that Lachgar’s request is unacceptable.
