Today, Friday, Fawzi Lakjaa, the Minister in charge of the Budget, praised the spirit of responsibility and seriousness that characterized the discussion of the draft finance law for the year 2025 from the beginning, stressing that “the focus on the spirit of responsibility and seriousness is not out of courtesy, but because the draft finance law is considered one of the major political moments that we are experiencing.” Our institutions and elites due to the project’s connection to our vital issues at all levels, especially comprehensive development issues.”
Lakjaa said in the plenary session, which was held today evening, Friday, November 11, 2024, to hear the government’s answer regarding the sum of parliamentarians’ comments and the vote on Part 2 and on the entire draft finance law, that “the draft finance law is usually considered an answer to realistic requirements based on a political perspective based on On several axes, which we usually summarize in terms of references, priorities, and individualities.”
The government official highlighted, “Before delving into the project’s axes, the prominent approach to the political framework is to read the moment in its international dimensions and its intersection with local and national complexities.”
Lakjaa stressed, “In an atmosphere of geopolitical tension that puts the world on the brink of explosion, and the resulting blurring of the economic horizon and risks that sway international economic and political relations, our country has continued to confirm its ability to deal with volatile circumstances, thus proving the resilience of its economic and social tissues.”
Lakjaa said, “The political impression of the finance project is evident in balancing the variables of reality and the possible answers based on declared references,” stressing that “this approach, which is framed by constitutional dimensions, has at its heart the strategic role of the Royal Directives before the roles of the development model and the government program.”
Lakjaa stressed, “It is self-evident that the royal strategic dimension plays the role of a safety valve and protector of the general direction, regardless of the new circumstances and internal contexts, something that we can clearly sense through a passing comparison between today’s Morocco and Morocco 25 years ago.” That is, the transformations our country experienced under the reign of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God grant him victory.”
Lakjaa stressed that “Morocco today has a status among nations that amounts to a major country intending to change classic political choices in order to bridge the gap with Morocco, not to mention the level of comprehensive modernization that the country has experienced.”
Lakjaa recalled “the strength of the political choices of their Majesties, which constitute a reference for draft finance laws in addition to the other reference components represented by the development model and the government program, as well as the corrections imposed by the immediate transformations internally and externally.”
Lakjaa continued, “It may seem to the observer who adopts a partial view, such as evaluating the outcomes of one year, that the references are either completely absent or that they have no effect if they exist, and this is one of the results of ignoring the contexts and not looking at work and achievement as interconnected, successive episodes that complement each other,” adding that “ The cumulative view is what can provide a true picture of the credibility of the references and general trends.”
On this basis, the Minister in charge of the budget adds, “We can return to the choices that framed the finances of the past three years, and we will find that they are completely consistent with the general strategic choices that framed the stage.”
The same spokesman said, “As much as it has become clear to start from a sober political framing that dismantles the determinants of the moment and anticipates the horizon for determining project priorities, it is governed by the same logic, and even if it appears formally that there are many priorities in one year, the reason is due to the fact that most of the priority projects require several years in order to be completed.” “.
Minister Fawzi Lakjaa said, “If we take, for example, education, health, and social protection, we will not be surprised to find that they are priorities that are repeated every year according to the number of years allocated for the completion of the workshops, knowing that one should not wait for the completion of workshops as a condition for opening other workshops,” noting that “in addition to this Expected priorities that may be imposed by exceptional emergency circumstances that cannot tolerate postponement.”
