Morocco's Istiqlal Party, one of the country's oldest and most established political formations, has issued internal guidance urging its representatives serving in the national government to exercise restraint in their public conduct and communications, according to reports circulating in Moroccan political media.
The directive, attributed to the party's leadership, appears aimed at maintaining discipline and cohesion within the Istiqlal's ministerial delegation as part of the coalition government led by Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch of the Rassemblement National des Indépendants (RNI). The instruction reflects the party's effort to project a unified and measured image ahead of potential political developments.
Istiqlal, founded in 1944 and historically one of Morocco's most influential parties, holds several ministerial portfolios in the current government coalition. The party has traditionally placed emphasis on internal discipline and institutional loyalty as core organizational values.
The call for restraint may also reflect broader tensions within the coalition or sensitivities around ongoing policy debates in Morocco. However, specific details regarding the precise trigger for the directive or the ministers concerned could not be independently verified at the time of publication.
