On June 8, 2026, during the monthly plenary session of general policy questions addressed to the head of government at the House of Representatives, the Socialist-Opposition Ittihadie group criticized the coalition government's record on livestock import subsidies. The group called for the establishment of a parliamentary commission of inquiry to investigate the allocation of these subsidies.
The opposition's demand comes amid a severe drought affecting Morocco, which has led to significant losses in livestock and increased reliance on imported cattle. The subsidies are intended to support farmers and stabilize meat prices, but the opposition alleges mismanagement and lack of transparency.
According to the group's spokesperson, the subsidies have not effectively reached the intended beneficiaries, and there are concerns about corruption and inefficiency. The government has not yet responded to the call for an inquiry.
This development highlights ongoing tensions between the opposition and the ruling coalition over agricultural policy and economic management during the drought crisis.
