Fiery remarks from El Mohajeri regarding pressure on Lekjaa

El Mohajeri defends Lekjaa’s independence and warns against intimidation campaigns

In remarks that have triggered widespread reaction on social media platforms, parliamentarian Hicham El Mohajeri broke his silence to fiercely defend the Minister Delegate in charge of the Budget, Fouzi Lekjaa, asserting that the latter is being subjected to systematic intimidation by specific parties aiming to deter him from his duties.

‘Opportunists’ at the heart of the political debate

When asked about the criticisms directed at him and his allies, El Mohajeri chose a sharp tone in his response, emphasizing that he refuses to engage in altercations with those he described as ‘opportunists’, considering that this type of discourse does not deserve any response, as his focus remains primarily on the core issues and economic files overseen by Lekjaa.

Background of the ongoing conflict

El Mohajeri noted that Fouzi Lekjaa has become a “target” for groups that are displeased with his management of state affairs, confirming that the campaigns targeting him are not spontaneous, but rather attempts to impose “political intimidation” on Moroccan officials. El Mohajeri added that his position remains steadfast regardless of the pressure, preferring to focus on institutional work rather than being drawn into side conflicts fueled by some for personal gain.

This move reignites the debate over the nature of the relationship between stakeholders in the Moroccan political scene, and the extent to which economic decisions are affected by the digital and political campaigns that are now targeting high-ranking officials in the Kingdom.
