During his speech in the occasion of the opening of the House of Representatives, the Moroccan King Mohammed VI has called on the Government and parliament to muster all energies and capabilities to make the best interests of the nation and the citizens prevail over any other consideration.
The King was speaking on the 11th of October 2025 when he delivered to the Parliament on Friday on the occasion of the opening of the 1st session of the 5th legislative year of the 11th legislature.
The King added that special attention should be given to accompanying citizens, and shedding light on initiatives taken by public authorities, as well as the various laws adopted and the decisions made, especially those relating directly to the rights and freedoms of citizens.
“I expect you, all government and parliament, majority and opposition, to muster all energies and capabilities, and to make the best interests of the nation and the citizens prevail over any other consideration,” He stated
“Therefore, do live up to the trust placed in you by the people; be worthy of the responsibility falling upon you, and of the integrity, commitment, and self-denial required by the mission of serving the Nation,” the King added.
Expressing His appreciation for their work in the areas of legislation, oversight of government action, and evaluation of public policies, the Sovereign commended the efforts made to promote party and parliamentary diplomacy to serve the Nation’s foremost causes.
“In this regard, I call for greater diligence and effectiveness with respect to cooperation and complementarity with our official diplomacy,” His Majesty the King said, inviting Members of Parliament to devote the mandate’s final year to working in a serious, responsible manner to complete legislative plans, implement ongoing programs and projects, and be vigilant and determined in serving the issues that matter to the citizens.
“There should be no inconsistency or competition between National flagship projects, on the one hand, and social programs, on the other, since the goal is to achieve the country’s development and improve the livelihood of citizens, wherever they may be,” the Sovereign underlined.
This matter is not the responsibility of the government alone, the Sovereign stressed, explaining that “although it is everyone’s responsibility, it is, first and foremost, your duty as parliamentarians, given that you represent the citizens.”
In this regard, The Moroccan Monarch stressed the importance to ensure everyone benefits from the fruits of growth, and from equal opportunities among the citizens of the Kingdom, when it comes to political, economic, social, and other rights.
Thus, the King considered the level of local development to be the mirror that truly reflects the progress of the emerging, united Morocco that all the National forces are seeking to consolidate. “Achieving social justice and combating inter-regional disparities aren’t empty slogans, nor do they constitute a temporary priority whose importance may decline depending on circumstances. Rather, I view this as a strategic policy objective to which all actors must adhere; it is a vital, core element which must govern and determine all development policies” the King said.
“This is also the responsibility of political parties, elected officials serving on boards and councils at all territorial levels, the media, civil society organizations, and the life force of the nation,” the Sovereign stressed.
