Benkirane sets fire to the home of the PJD

Abdelilah Benkirane, who has just been renewed at the head of the PJD for a new mandate, made a political error which could cost him his post, like what happened to Hamid Chabat, former secretary general of Istiqlal, following his words on Mauritania. Unless he presents public apology for his attacks on American and French presidents.

According to the daily Assabahwhich reports the information in its Monday, May 5 edition, some former ministers and majority leaders criticized the populist declarations of the former head of government, pronounced during the May 1 festival, whose objective is to flatter the emotions of his audience.

Seeking to position himself as the only defender of the Palestinian cause, continues the daily, “Benkirane did not hesitate to attack Donald Trump, President of the United States, and Emmanuel Macron, president of France, two supporters of the Moroccanity of the Sahara».

The adversaries of territorial integrity, in Algeria“Exploited Benkirane’s words to attack and ridicule Morocco», observe Assabah. The Zaïm of the PJD seems to have forgotten that as a former head of government, “He had been responsible for correcting Chabat’s error, who had attacked Mauritania“Recalls the daily life.

Assabah thus reports that Nezha El Ouafi, former minister delegate of the PJD, criticized the declarations of his secretary general, saying that “Defense of the Palestinian cause is certainly a priority for Moroccans, but that this does not justify making fun of a head of state like that of France, a strategic partner of Morocco».

El Ouafi, who held the posts of Minister responsible for MRE and Secretary of State for Sustainable Development under the PJD government, “said”that he is unworthy of a former head of government and secretary general of a party who led the government of Morocco during two mandates to make fun of the president of another country, like France, which constantly supports the Moroccanity of the Sahara in a fierce battle for the national cause, a sacred duty for all “.

In a post on Facebook, the former minister estimated that “Benkirane’s attack on Macron intervenes at a decisive, sensitive and complex time on the regional and international levels ”, Add the daily life.

The former minister, continues Assabahstressed that “This is contrary to political and diplomatic uses, whatever the justifications». She added that “Political and diplomatic logic requires favoring national interest, to avoid enmities and conflicts, and to refrain from offending people, in Morocco and abroad. And this, in accordance with the principles of the Islamic Party standard “. Following this, notes AssabahEl Ouafi was the target of virulent attacks on the part of members of the PJD, who accused her of “look for an ambassador position ”.

In addition, the daily notes, members of other parties reacted to the declarations of Benkirane, accusing the members of the PJD of “sanctify the errors of their Zaïm, which risks destroying their party ”.

PJD members are currently divided between those who support their boss’s statements, calling it “leader victim of injustices ”, Referring in particular to his eviction of the post of head of government appointed in 2016, and those who criticize his disorderly style of discourse.

For his part, continues AssabahAziz Akhannouch, president of the RNI, reacted indirectly to the words of the boss of the PJD, without naming it, declaring that “Politics is an action, and not only words, insults or invective ”. The President of the RNI intervened on Saturday during a party meeting in Dakhla. His remarks were supported by Mohammed Aujjar, former minister and manager of the same party, as well as by other figures in his training.
