Opposition Unity Tested
Lahcen Lachkar, head of the Socialist Group in the House of Representatives, attributed the failure to establish fact-finding committees during the previous parliamentary term to the opposition’s lack of the one-third of MPs required for a constitutional quorum. The current opposition consists of 157 MPs: 66 from the National Rally of Independents, 54 from the Justice and Development Party, 29 from the Popular Movement, and eight from the Left Alliance. This exceeds the required threshold of 132 signatures out of 395 MPs. However, establishing a committee still depends on these groups coordinating, agreeing on the facts and collecting the signatures, while observing legal restrictions—including the prohibition on examining matters that are the subject of an ongoing judicial investigation.
