Following growing concerns linked to attempts at collective irregular migration, in particular the recent case observed in the town of Fnideq, the Minister of Youth, Culture and Communication, Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid, affirmed that the government fully assumed its responsibility in the face of this social problem. On the other hand, the Moroccan dream should not be considered as an illusion, but rather as an authentic and legitimate aspiration.
In his response to questions from parliamentarians during the weekly session in the House of Advisors, the minister stressed that migration is nothing new for Morocco, which has suffered its consequences for many years, leading to the presence of millions of Moroccans abroad, whether by regular or irregular means. However, he highlighted a worrying aspect, notably the involvement of children aged 8 to 9 years in these incidents.
In this sense and speaking of recent events at Fnideq, Bensaid highlighted the importance of the role families in this crisis, also wondering if the employment issue concerns an 8 year old child, which calls for deeper reflection on youth issues.
In this context, the minister pleaded for a change in discourse aimed at youth, aiming to rectify the negative narratives surrounding institutions and prospects for success in Morocco. He insisted on the need to provide young people with the services and resources necessary to restore their confidence in national institutions and demonstrate to them that the success of their projects is possible in their own country, without having to emigrate.
Bensaid did not fail to recall the considerable efforts made by the government in terms of professional training, while highlighting the fact that irregular migration also affects graduates. In response to these challenges, he affirmed that the government is striving to create sustainable economic dynamics, particularly in the industrial sector, which has been maintained for two decades.
The minister concluded his response by affirming that the Moroccan dream should not be seen as a chimera, but as a legitimate aspiration, emphasizing the importance of building a future based on the ambitions of youth. Investing in young people is thus presented as a strategic priority for the development and prosperity of the country, reinforcing the idea that culture and sport can also play a crucial role in creating job opportunities.
