Parties' Approaches to Culture in Elections
The article discusses the programs of Moroccan political parties in the 2026 elections regarding culture and arts, highlighting a clear disparity in their level of interest and support for this sector. Some parties, particularly those in opposition and from the left, have proposed detailed plans to increase funding, improve infrastructure, and provide social support for artists—such as raising the budget to 1% of the total national budget, expanding access to cultural services, protecting copyright, and transforming cultural industries into sources of employment. In contrast, majority parties like Authenticity and Modernity and Independence have only made vague references and set broad goals, lacking a comprehensive vision for the future of culture. Economically, some propose strengthening creative industries, developing the film and music sectors, and increasing their contribution to the gross domestic product, along with plans to promote regional development, modernize support systems, and upgrade theaters and libraries. The contrast between parties also appears in their perception of the role of culture—either as a means of safeguarding heritage, a social right, or an economic sector contributing to wealth creation and employment—while emphasizing the importance of commitments to implement practical, measurable policies.
