🏛️ A Defining Moment for Morocco’s Parliament
In a pivotal address to Morocco’s Parliament, King Mohammed VI called for a renewed spirit of unity, integrity, and national service as the country enters the final legislative year of the current House of Representatives term. His speech came amid growing youth protests across Morocco, highlighting the urgency of inclusive governance and social justice.
The King praised parliamentarians for their efforts in legislation, government oversight, and diplomacy, urging them to finish the legislative cycle with “seriousness and responsibility” while remaining deeply connected to the daily realities of Moroccan citizens.
🇲🇦 Harmony Between Major Projects and Social Programs
King Mohammed VI emphasized that there is no contradiction between national mega-projects and social initiatives. Both serve the same goal — driving sustainable development and improving living standards across all regions of Morocco.
He underscored the importance of ensuring that citizens understand and benefit from ongoing public initiatives, laws, and reforms. This responsibility, he said, must be shared by government, parliament, political parties, civil society, and media outlets working together to strengthen public trust.
💡 Accelerating the “Emerging Morocco” Vision
Building on his previous Throne Speech, the King called for an acceleration of the “Emerging Morocco” agenda — focused on equitable territorial development, innovation, and social inclusion. He urged policymakers to transcend bureaucratic limits and push forward with “new-generation development programs” that ensure social and spatial justice.
He reaffirmed that all citizens must equally share the fruits of growth, with access to the same political, economic, and cultural opportunities, regardless of geography or background.
🌍 Tackling Disparities and Promoting Local Development
King Mohammed VI reiterated that combating social and regional inequalities is not a slogan but a strategic national priority. He highlighted the importance of local development as a reflection of Morocco’s unity and emergence, calling for stronger urban-rural cooperation and investments that bring administrative and economic services closer to remote communities.
Particular attention will be directed to mountainous and oasis regions, which make up nearly 30% of Morocco’s land. These areas will benefit from integrated policies that leverage local resources, reinforce solidarity, and promote balanced national progress.
🌊 Building a Sustainable Future
The King urged the activation of coastal development laws and maritime economy strategies to balance rapid growth with environmental sustainability. He also called for better efficiency in public investments, denouncing wasteful spending and encouraging a results-driven approach based on digital data and field performance.
🤝 Unity Amid Challenges
Concluding his address, King Mohammed VI invoked Quranic principles of accountability and service, urging both government and opposition to prioritize Morocco’s collective good above all else.
“National interests must come before personal gain — this is the spirit of Morocco’s progress,” he declared.
In a year filled with social challenges and economic opportunities, the King’s message stands as both a warning and a vision — Morocco’s success will depend on integrity, discipline, and unity across all levels of governance.
