Concerning the royal speech, this teacher-researcher stressed that it “revolves around two major pillars: the sovereignty of the Moroccan Sahara and the attention paid to Moroccans residing abroad (MRE)“. On the first point, he specified that the Sovereign recalled that the Sahrawis are Moroccans residing in the Saharan provinces, fully enjoying their rights, that is to say “rooted in their territorial existence».

This includes an in-depth restructuring of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad (CCME) and the creation of the Mohammedia Foundation for Moroccans Abroad, an executive body for the implementation of public policies (culture, religion, education). , social, infrastructure, investments). The CCME will be governed by a law which will soon be submitted to Parliament.
