"Priority to meritocracy; because we have deprived ourselves of many talents who, not being the "sons of", have expatriated elsewhere! And unlike certain politicians who invade TV sets or whose specialty is to distribute good positions and power, we go to the field and give real follow-up to our proposals, attentive to observe, listen and respond to the suffering and deficiencies that persist. In some isolated places, the spectacle is only desolation: dismal roads, unsanitary housing, more than 50 students per class, non-existent transport and security."
"On the contrary, I received support from all sides, and especially in relation to my action and my desire to make things happen. Running again for these elections was essential for me, because I did not want not to disappoint the 30,000 voters who voted for me in 2007."
"My participation is civic and completely independent of my faith. If I sought to be elected democratically, it was first and foremost to escape the opprobrium of those I rub shoulders with every day: all the forgotten and oppressed people of Morocco from below.

"One of the special features of this reform, linked to the Moroccan context, lies in the fact that it was demanded from two directions: the purposes of Charia and through ratified international conventions.

"As previously indicated, several initiatives have been carried out at the national and international levels at the initiative of governments and civil society, but these initiatives are not part of a general framework that gives them the necessary strength to create an impact and new dynamics.

"Also, it can be said that the main objective has a clear political dimension, coupled with an educational dimension that emphasizes the need to provide a “working tool” within everyone’s reach. In addition to the benchmarks, this working tool includes principles, definitions, clear provisions and well-defined responsibilities in terms of implementation. In principle, these consensuses are likely to encourage the various parties to move forward with this project, by implementing it while taking into account their contexts and the accumulations in the matter and by mutually benefiting from each other's experiences, and by carrying out mid-term evaluations in order to draw the necessary lessons."
"To return to the question of context, it can be said that there is an awareness among certain States, reiterated by certain institutions and non-governmental organizations, of the importance of human rights education, and what it requires in terms of the development of values, orientations and behaviors capable of protecting and promoting human rights."

To counter this, the government has launched the construction of seven desalination centres to increase resources."
"By implementing eco-taxes and eco-contributions, our objective is to encourage long-term changes in consumption habits.
