Benabdallah Highlights Deeper Abstention Trends

The article discusses statements by Nabyl Benabdellah, the Secretary-General of the Party of Progress and Socialism, regarding the phenomenon of voter apathy in Morocco and ways to address it. He indicated that the problem is not only related to the electoral system but also to the nature of voting itself, which lacks clear programs and political parties as decisive factors, thereby weakening trust in the political process. Benabdellah proposed adopting a proportional list voting system, including a national list representing between 50 and 60 percent of the seats, to enhance representation and increase participation. He also emphasized the importance of deeper reforms to freedoms and democracy to ensure more effective participation and greater confidence in institutions after years of government practices. Regarding the upcoming phase, he noted that the party has not yet made a final stance on whether to participate in the government, and that the decision will be taken after a meeting of the Political Bureau, taking into account the consensus program and transparency with party members. He also mentioned that the idea of unifying the left in Parliament is under consideration, but they are awaiting an official initiative before deciding. Overall, Benabdellah's statements reflect the party's commitment to fundamental reforms aimed at increasing trust and effectiveness in the political landscape.
