Benkirane Returns Amid Morocco France Talks
Moroccan-French relations have experienced an exceptional development during the current week, marked by the signing of strategic agreements and the enhancement of bilateral cooperation in the presence of a high-level French delegation consisting of 12 ministers. This happened in the context of Paris's explicit recognition of Western Sahara as part of Morocco. At the same time, Abdelilah Benkirane, Secretary-General of the Justice and Development Party, sparked wide controversy with sharp statements criticizing France’s interference in Moroccan internal affairs. He addressed France’s stance on the Moroccan elections, affirming that Morocco is a Muslim country and that its sovereignty is paramount. Benkirane also warned France to "not interfere" in Morocco’s internal matters or elections, considering it inappropriate for France to meddle in the kingdom’s internal affairs. These remarks came at a time when Moroccan diplomacy is working to strengthen international relations, especially with France, to solidify Morocco’s position on the Sahara issues, while the ruling party continues to criticize foreign interventions and to defend national sovereignty.
