8:34 pm
hello and welcome to a 2nd inside story from the moroccan capital robot. i'm bernard smith. the justice and development party is headed the government here for a decade, the dominant party into parliament. but in wednesday's elections, it was almost wiped out. losing 113 of the 125 seats held a result seen as the rejection of a party, but had adopted unpopular policies that alienated many voters including its own banks. now morocco will be run by a party seen as having the support of a polish. so will that lead to any change in this north african country? we'll talk to, i guess in a minute. but 1st, this report from jamal sheil, the business tycoon isaac knows the man expected to be morocco's new prime minister addressed his party supporters on thursday, who fino. we will look to build a strong coalition that is capable of executing the grand guidance and large scale
8:35 pm
projects of his hind is the king and a government that is capable to continue the path of development, which his majesty has laid out just by gaining the most seats and parliament nauseous national value of independence will not be able to govern alone. there are only got 97 of the 395 seats, which means it will have to form a coalition government with other liberal parties like the 2nd placed authenticity and modernity party. both these political forces are seen to be close to the royal palace and morocco, where the king still retains the vast majority of power. but the biggest headline of thursday's results is the resulting defeat suffered by the justice and development party, which had won the last 2 elections in 20112015. the p j. d. so it's parliamentary should diminish from $125.00 seats to a me or 12 with its leader, american prime minister, cited denot, money failing to be elected within hours of the results of the money. and the
8:36 pm
entire leadership of the party announced their resignations. so that the general secretariat takes full responsibility for the party failure. and based on this, the entire secretariat headed and led by sod, a dean of money announced their resignation. effective immediately when these volt was the 1st time and you were like for law was implemented from the outset, the party had complained that the law was unfair, claiming it was only introduced to reduce its candidates chances of winning the p. j. d has also filed complaints of voting irregularities in several districts across the country. not refunding many analysts point to a large protest vote as the main reason for the parties lack of success. they were defeated because 1st of all, they did not deliver their promises and people or fed up where their code of conduct and their moral duties, etc. so that's number one. people don't have jobs,
8:37 pm
especially after defending mc, and have not been able to create any jobs or to create the well, that will create that kind of jobs. so when you make up for morocco is parliaments where the liberal party is now occupying the majority of seats, voters seems to have punished the former prime minister for his parties. failure in improving living conditions. will a new government be able to deliver the economic reform and change so many people have been asking for and he's not even possible in a system where all power ultimately lies with the king. dramatic under the rub off the let's bring in august's lashan had out as a former minister of tourism and a political analyst. just bahamas is a columnist of morocco, world news, and our 3rd guest mohammed, our show me is a senior search fellow center studies and research in social science. welcome to
8:38 pm
you all mohammed. if i can start with you i, we gone back to before the arab spring with moroccan politics. certainly this justice and development party. how these last all is nearly seats. i think the best way to describe what happens is, i think it's a situation that a part of the circle situation. i would like to describe it as kind of an expected surprise. it was expected because in the moroccan political system, given the nature of the political system and the government cannot really have the opportunity to implement its program. so it is very, very difficult to attribute all the good things, the count them during the last 10 years to the government. so it's kind of a busy follow system, but in which the last se belongs to the king. the 2nd reason why it was expected is that there was some kind of very serious internal divisions that
8:39 pm
the earlier in 2016 for low in the removal of 511 kit and from the previous from actually so this has actually hit the unity of the did the party and it is continued to impact a very bad impact on the unity of the political division the party. i think the other reason why this is expected is that the general atmosphere and men are asian, pos, 2011 cannot really is not in favor of the low in miss political party to, to win elections for a 3rd time. it was a surprise in my opinion, because it was not a defeat, it was free 5. it is very, very astonishing. the number of states one by because you the from 125 to 13.
8:40 pm
it's really something incredible adjusted. you see the same thing as morocco gone back to how it was before the arab spring, the just in party back to where it was certainly. well, i definitely think that the, the main winners of the election have been is a choice for alignment with the palace instead of a more reform store combative attitude. but at the same time, i think this is also introduced a new era american politics where social media technology spending and having social media savvy young candidates as with the party is becoming as a global trend, this is becoming much more reported in political life. okay, lawson, the part of that one is seen as being closer to the palace. the other 2 parties also royalist you, you can say what the king be tempted to roll back the democratic reforms, the bean and in morocco, novels that are more favorable parties in power. i have seen
8:41 pm
a report for saying that the parties are closer to the palace, but i think that's a theory that's probably not relevant morocco in the sense that all the parties are in the sense, close to the policy and also close to the monarchy. so i don't think that that is it's used before 2011. like there was somebody very close to the part to the palace who is trying to engineer the elections. i think these parties are, have worked more or less independently, but i don't think that there are not, not reform responses. them as just said for exam d. c. parties. reform is spotty, the socialist party, either for ms parts, even the bomb itself, which is the party of density is a reformist party. so i don't think that he does kind of problem with the reform is that he's not. and then also he's close to the palace and he's not, but i mean at the same time, i think all of them go with specific kind of agenda of the state. that the,
8:42 pm
it's better to move on to move beyond the slimy spirit in the sense that the summers have sapointer. i mean, like grandly, in terms of like, like, delivering to the population delivered in their promises. so i think there is that kind of sense that but, but to go back to what has been said, i mean, would you got to, why to day, let me like it's, it's, it's, it's internal divisions within the day. so, but also i think the patient day has run out of any kind of legitimizing discourse because in 2011 they try to gain the deep states and also corruption of that 2000 and steve. and also gave, there was forces that, that prevented the thomas from, from the winter work, but i'm in 2021. there is no rallying cry. but at the same time, they have also like legitimacy kind of a problem in that, in the says that they did not deliver on all of their promises over 10 years. mama lashan lessons use this word use if you use this word islamic to describe the
8:43 pm
justice and development part. it means so many different things to different people . and this part is very far from any sort of having any religious influence pops these days on these policies. can you help people understand what the p j. d. 's philosophy was when it 1st when one those 1st post are spring election? yes, i think the problem of the busy, the, maybe a comment on what was said, the professor had that is that he lost, he started losing religion to mrs. since 2011, because he has been forced in one way or another to endorse policies against which he belt his philosophy or his political discourse. like for example, fighting against corruption and displacement. this was the slogan of 25 believe movements. he found himself obliged to sign the treat you publish and want to fall into it because of the balance of power in the moroccan political
8:44 pm
system. as i said before, the last se belongs to the king. and the big political and economic orientation are defined by the by last, the rule of the government in american constitute and local political system. i mean, in practice, not according to the constitution. he's 2 to 2 things. the 1st one is to help the king implement his orientation economically, politically and in terms of public policies. the 2nd one is to take the responsibility of the failures in case of failure. it is the government that and you have been witnessing how a big part of the moroccan press have been severely criticize in the government and not the whole government of the whole structure. but the p g d. and
8:45 pm
it is very, very part of the circle that the loser is the head of the government or the party over the head of government and do when is one of the parties that has been in power over the last 10 years. so this is really interesting to lawson, is that why the p j d last support is it didn't do what they wanted it. it was opposed to normalization of ties with israel, but was forced to go ahead with it. it legalized cannabis cultivation for medical use. these sort of policies is that why they lost their support? i think that's partly by the last this both, but also i think they did not deliver and they don't, didn't have like the competencies to deliver on some of the things that they want to deliver. but the other thing also is that the, the, the national part to which one the elections deliver to which one the lessons was in the polish. but it used the communication strategy whereby all the government owned, what is all the failures of the government said this is part of the big it's very
8:46 pm
smart movement that they made them when. but at the same time, i don't think the patient has a way to defend its own, its own agenda and its own achievements. on the other hand, i think the, the busy the team on 3 things. one of them is like we're morally honest, we're not going to stealing all of that. so that's one thing. the 2nd one we're going to fight against. perhaps we're going to read jobs and we're going to move the economy forward. and the 3rd one, we're going to have a better governance in morocco. lot of morocco that disappointed because they don't see those things happening on the grounds. so if you, if you go and see like middle class and a lot of them are urged to, lot of them and like have kids who don't, don't have jobs, there are all kinds of problems with that. and then that with, with corruption, they didn't fight rupture. i mean, the index on transparency, it's about 80 something. so that's the way they found it when they came in $1012.00 . so they did not deliver. and i think part of the, of the capacity to deliver is if i don't have
8:47 pm
a lot of experience in running govern, jasper, is this a blow for democracy? if you're looking for a democratic reform in morocco, when you go, well, i think at the, at the current into current situation, the way that the government is operating. these are the, the power in the palace is the way that the constitution outlines it. this is the way that democracy in the, in its current state, the morocco is supposed to work. this is not theory, our egypt, where we have a more collection for our leader. we have a real election for the parliament. and of course, the power of the parliament this to a large extent, armstrong by the palace. but at the same time for democracy, you need young, engaged people. and that's what happened this time with a massive get out to vote. and to turn out to us an encouraging result. so now i don't, i think more alignment with the palace does not necessarily mean disavowal of democracy . i think mama, we often hear talk of
8:48 pm
a deep state in morocco just says these are not, the actions are not like the one you have in egypt for example. but is there, can you attach any store to that is not a fair argument to make affecting the just as development parties of latino to succeed. before i answer this question, if a may go to bite to the question you ask the to my colleague, i think about democracy yet about democracy. i think it depends on what we mean by democracy in terms of advancing political reform. i think these results might result in slowing down somehow the process. but if we mean by democracy, the other aspects, economic and social aspects, i think that is a very ambitious project, which is the new model of development. and i think the main task of this government and the next may be government to be elected within 5 years is to implement the
8:49 pm
new development model. so this will help in improving the quality of life for people in morocco and a decatur in the poverty and improve in some human development indicators back to the question about the deep state. i think this is a very, very difficult question to answer. as a political scientist, i think it is it's, it's not a scientific actually a concept deep states may be, refers to some kind of an economy and may be mainly economic interest in moral a. i think it's very difficult to compare between the mark and case and the case of egypt, for example, or junior morocco has always been able to have its own way to do what they
8:50 pm
do. but in a very different way, in morocco, de way with dealt with the islamist was completely different instead of completely eliminating them from the or in egypt or play in to give them some kind of for you to our engineers. y'all, did the moroccan strategy consisted in simply allowing them to be included in great and integrated institutions as a way to tame them. and then they will realize that's what they were promising. people is not really easy to achieve in practice. ok, national relative independence is now when the bulk of seats, as e dot com slash it's late, a 1000000000 businessmen, agra for market culture minister mohammed talked about this need to move forward with a king's agenda. this economic development project with those parties in power. is there a good chance that morocco can move forward with the kings agenda?
8:51 pm
will those parties want to implemented? can just speak to the question of the states and also the low congress just for i think we have a hybrid resume in the sense that an executive kind of market, but also highlight present to kind of governments. so we've hybrid between exec, too, and also democrats, but i think that's what the moroccans voted for in 2011. that's what we need. and i happen to also say that that's what we need to do. what we need those kinds hybrid regimes. because we need to have some sort of continue, which is ability, you'll still involved in politics, is that to say, but we felt the deep state than whatever. but i think if you mean by the deep states that there is a consider with you of the states and it's apologises and they have, they are watching over 60 g like jo, political and political interest of the country. yes, of course. it exists as the name of any other country, but i think there is also the fact that there is like the election to be very free . so i don't think it's really a blow to democracy. but like with the coalition,
8:52 pm
i think that he's now very which is the brokers have spoken and they have given the mandate to 3 parties. the 3 biggest parties in morocco now says the national independence party and also do kansas city and whether it's autumn, the party. so those are the 3 major parties that they have some affinity with them . so that when we go beyond the fact that he was not to be some sort of of unity within the government within the government that is going out. now, i think they are more liberal leaning with some social agenda. so i think they will be able to work together, and i think they have a comfortable majority because they are $254.00. so they will be able to govern all 3 of them. and i think this is a very rare chance in morocco to have a relation of only 3 parties because beforehand you sound like 6 parties, high parties for parties. and it's very difficult to create some homogeneity within this kind of coalition. so i think there is a good chance that this is
8:53 pm
a quality that would happen. may think it's good for rock, it's good for the big reforms that are more up is in the, in the taking the pressure is going to be on this coalition. those and isn't my normal pressure and expectation expectations are very high and i think we're putting down the reforms, especially with services, social security in terms of employment in terms of regional kind of dynamic ation of the economy. all of these kinds of things like really reinforcing the role of the middle class. those are very high expectations and i think, but i think this governments with demand the political mandates and also with the people who are within these budget, i think they will be able to deliver just but you think these parties will be able to deliver and get the mandate from the king to, to deliver well the, the ladder. i think that this part of the coalition building, but at the same time, i say, i do not envy our prime minister to be, to be honest because the task that is set for them is erica lee and they have their own party program. they've really focused on job creation, boosting the,
8:54 pm
the economy, taken care of the elderly. but at the same time they have the national projects going on to fastly, expand health care, vast the expand pensions. and this has all been done ahead of the election as a national project, which has deadlines within their to 5 years that they will be in power. there is also of course, the legalization of medical cannabis mostly for export. the way it's structured right now, which is going to create a giant agency through through which billions might flow and whether this could become an example of a modern morocco, that where corruption can be kept at bay, even when in such a centralized place where so much money goes on, but there are also, of course, plenty of pitfalls with him that because making all these things come through it, especially as a 1000000000 our prime minister, it could become either f d r o delivers a new deal, or it could become trump, who is seen as
8:55 pm
a self serving person who is there so i think the risk reward is greater than the situation. i would. willis, new government however, is made up. we've got a good idea to be these 3 dominant parties. will it be able to deliver huge challenges, youth unemployment, of a 30 percent challenge of crony capitalism? because there's not enough you get the business because of who, you know, the sort of challenges will list. will they be able to meet these challenges actually, and nobody can answer this question? no, but what i am sure about is that this government will not face the same constraint, the same challenges that they will face it too because i am confident that the political atmosphere will change completely in morocco wants. the new government is appointed by the king. it will be 100 percent and it will have the mandate of the king for sure. and it will also take advantage from the fact that it is politically homogeneous,
8:56 pm
government stone coalition. but the main challenge, in my opinion, is in addition to the high expectations from the government in terms of improve in the human development and dictators, advocates in poverty and improving the quality of health system. and education is the fact that with the exception of strickland no one of this part is a has some kind of social lear routed constituencies. they consist mainly in off not who can win the election, but they cannot really control the population. i think we need to distinguish between 2 kinds or 2 types of legitimacy. they enjoy very strong electron legitimacy, given the number of sits, the one. but they have a big problem in my opinion, of popular or political religious to me. because it's,
8:57 pm
it's not enough to win election in order to have a kind of political in the sense of legitimacy are gentlemen, unfortunately, thomas got the better routes. but thanks to all against the lash and how to jasper her mom, unto mohamad l. a. she, me, i'm thank you to, for watching, you can see the program again anytime by visiting our website, al jazeera dot com, to motivate, go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash a j inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter. we are at a inside story from me, bernard smith and the whole team here in morocco. thanks for watching news. news. news.
