Fatima Tamni lashes out at majority parties over election promises

A heated confrontation between Tamni and the majority parties

In a notable political move, Parliamentarian Fatima Tamni, of the Federation of the Democratic Left, has leveled sharp criticism at the majority parties and government members, labeling their current actions as the legislative elections approach as “electoral opportunism.” Tamni did not stop at criticism; she held officials accountable for their past track record, which was marked by silence regarding the demands of the Moroccan people.

“Accountability first… then talk!”

Under this strong banner, Tamni denounced on her digital platforms what she described as the “auction of promises,” particularly concerning the race to raise the minimum wage (SMIG). The parliamentarian asked with surprise, “5000 dirhams? Who offers more? 6000?,” arguing that these figures are merely an attempt to evade the question of their actual performance. She posed a fundamental question: If these decisions were feasible, why were they not implemented when you held the power to decide and legislate?

Dodging the record and deceiving voters

Tamni believes the majority’s strategy aims to steer the debate toward an “ambiguous future” rather than addressing the “tangible past,” namely the government’s track record. She emphasized that Moroccans, who have suffered for years from rising prices, the erosion of purchasing power, and rising unemployment, do not need new promises as much as they need to hold those responsible for previous crises to account.

The principle of accountability before promises

Tamni stressed that the core of her political stance lies in invoking the responsibility of those managing public affairs. She concluded her message with a direct challenge to the government parties: “Where were you when Moroccans were suffering under the burden of high prices?” Thus, Tamni considers what is currently happening not to be an honest democratic process, but an attempt to skip the necessary phase of accountability to win votes with promises that lack credibility and the correct temporal context.
