Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch mocked his political opponents during a parliamentary session, saying: "They were supposed to score, but they only know how to tackle." The remark, delivered in the House of Representatives, was aimed at opposition MPs who had criticized the government's performance.
The session took place as part of the ongoing parliamentary cycle, where the government faces questions on its policy record. Akhannouch's comment was a response to opposition speeches that he characterized as lacking constructive proposals.
Opposition parties have not yet issued a formal response to the prime minister's remarks. The exchange highlights the tense political atmosphere in Morocco as the government and opposition debate key national issues.
